| .IX Title "WINDRES.1 1" |
| .TH WINDRES.1 1 "binutils-2.11.90" "2001-05-30" "GNU" |
| .UC |
| .SH "NAME" |
| windres \- manipulate Windows resources. |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| .IX Header "SYNOPSIS" |
| windres [options] [input-file] [output-file] |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR reads resources from an input file and copies them into |
| an output file. Either file may be in one of three formats: |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "rc" |
| A text format read by the Resource Compiler. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`res\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "res" |
| A binary format generated by the Resource Compiler. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`coff\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "coff" |
| A \s-1COFF\s0 object or executable. |
| .PP |
| The exact description of these different formats is available in |
| documentation from Microsoft. |
| .PP |
| When \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR converts from the \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR format to the \f(CW\*(C`res\*(C'\fR |
| format, it is acting like the Windows Resource Compiler. When |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR converts from the \f(CW\*(C`res\*(C'\fR format to the \f(CW\*(C`coff\*(C'\fR |
| format, it is acting like the Windows \f(CW\*(C`CVTRES\*(C'\fR program. |
| .PP |
| When \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR generates an \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file, the output is similar |
| but not identical to the format expected for the input. When an input |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file refers to an external filename, an output \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file |
| will instead include the file contents. |
| .PP |
| If the input or output format is not specified, \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will |
| guess based on the file name, or, for the input file, the file contents. |
| A file with an extension of \fI.rc\fR will be treated as an \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR |
| file, a file with an extension of \fI.res\fR will be treated as a |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`res\*(C'\fR file, and a file with an extension of \fI.o\fR or |
| \&\fI.exe\fR will be treated as a \f(CW\*(C`coff\*(C'\fR file. |
| .PP |
| If no output file is specified, \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will print the resources |
| in \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR format to standard output. |
| .PP |
| The normal use is for you to write an \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file, use \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR |
| to convert it to a \s-1COFF\s0 object file, and then link the \s-1COFF\s0 file into |
| your application. This will make the resources described in the |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file available to Windows. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .IX Header "OPTIONS" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-i \f(CIfilename\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-i filename" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-input \f(CIfilename\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--input filename" |
| The name of the input file. If this option is not used, then |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will use the first non-option argument as the input file |
| name. If there are no non-option arguments, then \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will |
| read from standard input. \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR can not read a \s-1COFF\s0 file from |
| standard input. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-o \f(CIfilename\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-o filename" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-output \f(CIfilename\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--output filename" |
| The name of the output file. If this option is not used, then |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will use the first non-option argument, after any used |
| for the input file name, as the output file name. If there is no |
| non-option argument, then \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will write to standard output. |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR can not write a \s-1COFF\s0 file to standard output. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-I \f(CIformat\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-I format" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-input\-format \f(CIformat\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--input-format format" |
| The input format to read. \fIformat\fR may be \fBres\fR, \fBrc\fR, or |
| \&\fBcoff\fR. If no input format is specified, \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will |
| guess, as described above. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-O \f(CIformat\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-O format" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-output\-format \f(CIformat\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--output-format format" |
| The output format to generate. \fIformat\fR may be \fBres\fR, |
| \&\fBrc\fR, or \fBcoff\fR. If no output format is specified, |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will guess, as described above. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-F \f(CItarget\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-F target" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-target \f(CItarget\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--target target" |
| Specify the \s-1BFD\s0 format to use for a \s-1COFF\s0 file as input or output. This |
| is a \s-1BFD\s0 target name; you can use the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR option to see a list |
| of supported targets. Normally \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will use the default |
| format, which is the first one listed by the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR option. |
| \&\f(CW@ref\fR{Target Selection}. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-preprocessor \f(CIprogram\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--preprocessor program" |
| When \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR reads an \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file, it runs it through the C |
| preprocessor first. This option may be used to specify the preprocessor |
| to use, including any leading arguments. The default preprocessor |
| argument is \f(CW\*(C`gcc \-E \-xc\-header \-DRC_INVOKED\*(C'\fR. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-include\-dir \f(CIdirectory\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--include-dir directory" |
| Specify an include directory to use when reading an \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file. |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will pass this to the preprocessor as an \f(CW\*(C`\-I\*(C'\fR |
| option. \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR will also search this directory when looking for |
| files named in the \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-D \f(CItarget\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-D target" |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-define \f(CIsym\f(CW[=\f(CIval\f(CW]\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--define sym[=val]" |
| Specify a \f(CW\*(C`\-D\*(C'\fR option to pass to the preprocessor when reading an |
| \&\f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-v\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-v" |
| Enable verbose mode. This tells you what the preprocessor is if you |
| didn't specify one. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-language \f(CIval\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--language val" |
| Specify the default language to use when reading an \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR file. |
| \&\fIval\fR should be a hexadecimal language code. The low eight bits are |
| the language, and the high eight bits are the sublanguage. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-use\-temp\-file\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--use-temp-file" |
| Use a temporary file to instead of using popen to read the output of |
| the preprocessor. Use this option if the popen implementation is buggy |
| on the host (eg., certain non-English language versions of Windows 95 and |
| Windows 98 are known to have buggy popen where the output will instead |
| go the console). |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-no\-use\-temp\-file\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--no-use-temp-file" |
| Use popen, not a temporary file, to read the output of the preprocessor. |
| This is the default behaviour. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--help" |
| Prints a usage summary. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-version\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--version" |
| Prints the version number for \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR. |
| .Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-yydebug\*(C'\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "--yydebug" |
| If \f(CW\*(C`windres\*(C'\fR is compiled with \f(CW\*(C`YYDEBUG\*(C'\fR defined as \f(CW\*(C`1\*(C'\fR, |
| this will turn on parser debugging. |
