15 This document describes tools for handling resources within wine
19 <title>bin2res</title>
22 This tool allows the editing of embedded binary resources
23 within <filename>*.rc</filename> files. These resources are
24 stored as hex dump so they can be stored within the cvs
25 tree. This makes the editing of the embedded bitmaps and
31 <title>Create binary files from an <filename>.rc</filename> file</title>
34 The resources in the <filename>.rc</filename> file have to
35 be marked by a header:
38 /* BINRES idb_std_small.bmp */
39 IDB_STD_SMALL BITMAP LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE
41 '42 4D 20 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 00 00 00 28 00'
44 <constant>BINRES</constant> is the keyword followed by a
45 filename. <command>bin2res -d bin rsrc.rc</command>
46 generates binary files from all marked resources. If the
47 binary file is newer it gets not overwritten. To force
48 overwriting use the <parameter>-f</parameter> switch.
53 <title>Create a <filename>.rc</filename> file from binaries</title>
56 Put a header followed by empty brackets in the
57 <filename>.rc</filename> file.
60 /* BINRES idb_std_small.bmp */
64 Then run <command>bin2res rsrc.rc</command>. It will merge
65 the resources into the <filename>.rc</filename> file if the
66 binary resources are newer than the.rc file. To force the
67 resources into the <filename>.rc</filename> file use the
68 <parameter>-f</parameter> switch. If there is already a
69 resource with the same filename in the
70 <filename>.rc</filename> file it gets overwritten.
