## Description

`exo-csource` is a small utility that generates C code containing arbitrary data, useful for compiling texts or other data directly into programs.

## Invocation

`exo-csource` either takes as input one file name to generate code for, or, using the `--build-list` option, a list of (name, file) pairs to generate code for a list of images into named variables.

### Options

`-h`, `--help`

  Print brief help and exit.

`-v`, `--version`

  Print version information and exit.

`--extern`

  Generate extern symbols.

`--static`

  Generate static symbols (default).

`--name=identifier`

  Specifies the `identifier` name (prefix) for the generated variables (only used if `--build-list` was not specified as well).

`--build-list`

  Enables (name, file) pair parsing mode.

`--output=identifier`

  Prints the output to `identifier` instead of stdout (only used if `--build-list` was not specified as well).
