NAME
ad2c - convert resource files to C declarations
SYNOPSIS
ad2c [-a arrayname] [files]
DESCRIPTION
ad2c converts X resource files into C declarations,
appropriate for inclusion as fallback resources. The output
is a NULL terminated array of char *. The program itself is
a wrapper around a sed(1) script which is effectively a
finite state machine, escaping quotes and backslashes (and
newlines where necessary), and adding quotes and commas as
needed for array initialization.
ad2c reads from the given files (or stdin if none are given)
and writes the C array to stdout.
OPTIONS
-a arrayname
Name the produced array arrayname instead of the
default fallbacks.
files
Input application defaults files; the default is to
read from stdin.
RETURN VALUE
ad2c returns as for sed(1)
SEE ALSO
