NAME

       objres - compile binary data into an object file.

SYNOPSIS

       objres [OPTIONS] [SYMBOL=]FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       objres  takes  as  input  one  or  more files containing binary data, and creates an ELF object file that
       exports the contents of each input file as a read-only compile-time object.  objres  also  produces  a  C
       header file that declares each of the exported objects as an array of unsigned char.

       Each  input file may be preceded by the symbol name to assign to that binary object. If no symbol name is
       provided, objres will derive one from the filename.

OPTIONS

       -o, --output=FILENAME
              Set the name of the target object file to FILENAME.   If  this  option  is  omitted,  the  default
              filename  will  be  derived from the name of the exported symbol (or the first symbol, if there is
              more than one).

       -h, --header=FILENAME
              Set the name of the header file to FILENAME.  If this option is omitted, the default filename will
              be chosen to match the name of the object file.

       -m, --machine={32|64}
              Set the target object file to be either a 32-bit ELF object or a 64-bit ELF  object.  The  default
              type will be the same as the objres binary's type.

       -R, --reference=OBJFILE
              Examine  the  object file OBJFILE, and copy the fields from its ELF header to the file created. By
              default objres will only target x86 platforms; this option allows it to create  object  files  for
              other platforms.

       -r, --read-only
              Place  the  binary  objects  in  read-only memory. The objects will be declared as arrays of const
              unsigned char.

       --help Display help and exit.

       --version
              Display version information and exit.
