NAME

text2c - text to C generator

Syntax : text2c [option] [InputFile] [OutputFile]


DESCRIPTION

text2c formats any InputFile into an OutputFile composed of C-like statements. The OutputFile may be included in your C, C++ or perl code.


Options

 Options are

        -h     print short help
        -p     output perl-like print statements
        -x     output C++ output.
        -f     use file handler style
        -m     Do not format %
        -w     Format as-is (no line wrap)
        -l x   output 'x' characters per line.

 Defaults are

        InputFile  = stdin
        OutputFile = stdout
        Length     = 60 characters
        Format     = C  code  "printf()"  statements

C++ code print statements are generated using ``cout'', perl formatting uses ``print''.


Features

-x and -p uses ``cout'' and ``print'' but also all the C escape sequence. Perl print statements takes into account the ``@'' and ``$'' characters but for C++ it's really just a question of cosmetics.

File handler mode works only in C and Perl mode. The chosen file handler is FO. You will need to take care of adding this to your code.

TEXT2C will ignore EOL CR and CR-LF combination and interpret them as new lines. This feature is making possible support for binary transfer of ASCII files (usually leaving ending CR-LFs).
