NAME
data2inc - Free Pascal binary to pascal include file converter.
SYNOPSIS
data2inc [-ABSVH] msgfile [incfile] [constname]
DESCRIPTION
data2inc reads a binary or text file and converts it to a pascal typed
constant declaration. The constant is an array of characters (zero
based), in which each character’s ascii value is the value of the byte
at the offset index in the binary file. (index is the index in the
array). If the input file is a text file, options will be read from the
file and an output file will be generated according to the options
encountered.
USAGE
data2inc with the -B option accepts a filename of a binary file, and
needs the name of an include file and constant name. The output is
written to incfile The name of the constant constname is mandatory for
a binary file.
data2inc without -B option takes the name of a message description file
as input. It will process the message file and write the output as
described in the message file to incfile
OPTIONS
data2inc has a small number of options to control its behaviour:
-A Write bytes instead of characters. The constant array will be an
array of byte instead of an array of char.
-B If this option is given, the msgfile will be treated as a binary
file.
-H emit a small helptext.
-S data2inc will write the output as an array of strings, or a 2
dimensional array of characters.
-V Show the version number and exit.
