This document describes tools for handling resources within wine
</para>
<sect2>
<title>bin2res</title>
<para>
This tool allows the editing of embedded binary resources
within <filename>*.rc</filename> files. These resources are
stored as hex dump so they can be stored within the cvs
tree. This makes the editing of the embedded bitmaps and
icons harder.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Create binary files from an <filename>.rc</filename> file</title>
<para>
The resources in the <filename>.rc</filename> file have to
be marked by a header:
</para>
<programlisting>
/* BINRES idb_std_small.bmp */
IDB_STD_SMALL BITMAP LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE
{
'42 4D 20 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 00 00 00 28 00'
</programlisting>
<para>
<constant>BINRES</constant> is the keyword followed by a
filename. <command>bin2res -d bin rsrc.rc</command>
generates binary files from all marked resources. If the
binary file is newer it gets not overwritten. To force
overwriting use the <parameter>-f</parameter> switch.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Create a <filename>.rc</filename> file from binaries</title>
<para>
Put a header followed by empty brackets in the
<filename>.rc</filename> file.
</para>
<programlisting>
/* BINRES idb_std_small.bmp */
{}
</programlisting>
<para>
Then run <command>bin2res rsrc.rc</command>. It will merge
the resources into the <filename>.rc</filename> file if the
binary resources are newer than the.rc file. To force the
resources into the <filename>.rc</filename> file use the
<parameter>-f</parameter> switch. If there is already a
resource with the same filename in the
<filename>.rc</filename> file it gets overwritten.
