NAME
       windres - manipulate Windows resources.

SYNOPSIS
       windres [options] [input-file] [output-file]

DESCRIPTION
       windres reads resources from an input file and copies them into an
       output file.  Either file may be in one of three formats:

       "rc"
	   A text format read by the Resource Compiler.

       "res"
	   A binary format generated by the Resource Compiler.

       "coff"
	   A COFF object or executable.

       The exact description of these different formats is available in
       documentation from Microsoft.

       When windres converts from the "rc" format to the "res" format, it is
       acting like the Windows Resource Compiler.  When windres converts from
       the "res" format to the "coff" format, it is acting like the Windows
       "CVTRES" program.

       When windres generates an "rc" file, the output is similar but not
       identical to the format expected for the input.	When an input "rc"
       file refers to an external filename, an output "rc" file will instead
       include the file contents.

       If the input or output format is not specified, windres will guess
       based on the file name, or, for the input file, the file contents.  A
       file with an extension of .rc will be treated as an "rc" file, a file
       with an extension of .res will be treated as a "res" file, and a file
       with an extension of .o or .exe will be treated as a "coff" file.

       If no output file is specified, windres will print the resources in
       "rc" format to standard output.

       The normal use is for you to write an "rc" file, use windres to convert
       it to a COFF object file, and then link the COFF file into your
       application.  This will make the resources described in the "rc" file
       available to Windows.

OPTIONS
       -i filename
       --input filename
	   The name of the input file.	If this option is not used, then
	   windres will use the first non-option argument as the input file
	   name.  If there are no non-option arguments, then windres will read
	   from standard input.	 windres can not read a COFF file from
	   standard input.

       -o filename
       --output filename
	   The name of the output file.	 If this option is not used, then
	   windres will use the first non-option argument, after any used for
	   the input file name, as the output file name.  If there is no non-
	   option argument, then windres will write to standard output.
	   windres can not write a COFF file to standard output.  Note, for
	   compatibility with rc the option -fo is also accepted, but its use
	   is not recommended.

       -J format
       --input-format format
	   The input format to read.  format may be res, rc, or coff.  If no
	   input format is specified, windres will guess, as described above.

       -O format
       --output-format format
	   The output format to generate.  format may be res, rc, or coff.  If
	   no output format is specified, windres will guess, as described
	   above.

       -F target
       --target target
	   Specify the BFD format to use for a COFF file as input or output.
	   This is a BFD target name; you can use the --help option to see a
	   list of supported targets.  Normally windres will use the default
	   format, which is the first one listed by the --help option.

       --preprocessor program
	   When windres reads an "rc" file, it runs it through the C
	   preprocessor first.	This option may be used to specify the
	   preprocessor to use, including any leading arguments.  The default
	   preprocessor argument is "gcc -E -xc-header -DRC_INVOKED".

       --preprocessor-arg option
	   When windres reads an "rc" file, it runs it through the C
	   preprocessor first.	This option may be used to specify additional
	   text to be passed to preprocessor on its command line.  This option
	   can be used multiple times to add multiple options to the
	   preprocessor command line.

       -I directory
       --include-dir directory
	   Specify an include directory to use when reading an "rc" file.
	   windres will pass this to the preprocessor as an -I option.
	   windres will also search this directory when looking for files
	   named in the "rc" file.  If the argument passed to this command
	   matches any of the supported formats (as described in the -J
	   option), it will issue a deprecation warning, and behave just like
	   the -J option.  New programs should not use this behaviour.	If a
	   directory happens to match a format, simple prefix it with ./ to
	   disable the backward compatibility.

       -D target
       --define sym[=val]
	   Specify a -D option to pass to the preprocessor when reading an
	   "rc" file.

       -U target
       --undefine sym
	   Specify a -U option to pass to the preprocessor when reading an
	   "rc" file.

       -r  Ignored for compatibility with rc.

       -v  Enable verbose mode.	 This tells you what the preprocessor is if
	   you didn't specify one.

       -c val
       --codepage val
	   Specify the default codepage to use when reading an "rc" file.  val
	   should be a hexadecimal prefixed by 0x or decimal codepage code.
	   The valid range is from zero up to 0xffff, but the validity of the
	   codepage is host and configuration dependent.

       -l val
       --language val
	   Specify the default language to use when reading an "rc" file.  val
	   should be a hexadecimal language code.  The low eight bits are the
	   language, and the high eight bits are the sublanguage.

       --use-temp-file
	   Use a temporary file to instead of using popen to read the output
	   of the preprocessor. Use this option if the popen implementation is
	   buggy on the host (eg., certain non-English language versions of
	   Windows 95 and Windows 98 are known to have buggy popen where the
	   output will instead go the console).

       --no-use-temp-file
	   Use popen, not a temporary file, to read the output of the
	   preprocessor.  This is the default behaviour.

       -h
       --help
	   Prints a usage summary.

       -V
       --version
	   Prints the version number for windres.

       --yydebug
	   If windres is compiled with "YYDEBUG" defined as 1, this will turn
	   on parser debugging.

       @file
	   Read command-line options from file.	 The options read are inserted
	   in place of the original @file option.  If file does not exist, or
	   cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not
	   removed.

	   Options in file are separated by whitespace.	 A whitespace
	   character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
	   option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including
	   a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be
	   included with a backslash.  The file may itself contain additional
	   @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
