 2 | # hexembed
 3 | 
 4 | hexembed is a very small utility to help embed files in C or C++ programs in an easy, cross-platform way.
 5 | 
 6 | ## Usage
 7 | 
 8 | ```
 9 | > gcc hexembed.c -o hexembed
10 | > hexembed some_file.jpg > some_file.c
11 | > cat some_file.c
12 | 
13 | /* Embedded file: some_file.jpg */
14 | const int fsize = 1873;
15 | const unsigned char *file = {
16 | 0x2f,0x2a,0x0a,0x20,0x2a,0x20,0x68,0x65,0x78,0x65,0x6d,0x62,0x65,0x64,0x20,0x2d,
17 | 0x20,0x61,0x20,0x73,0x69,0x6d,0x70,0x6c,0x65,0x20,0x75,0x74,0x69,0x6c,0x69,0x74,
18 | 0x79,0x20,0x74,0x6f,0x20,0x68,0x65,0x6c,0x70,0x20,0x65,0x6d,0x62,0x65,0x64,0x20,
19 | 0x66,0x69,0x6c,0x65,0x73,0x20,0x69,0x6e,0x20,0x43,0x20,0x70,0x72,0x6f,0x67,0x72,
20 |     ...
21 | };
22 | ```
23 | 
24 | Now you can simply `#include "some_file.c"` file in your program, and you have access to that file's data.
