🎀 fpcjres(1) — the resource file converter

okay bestie, welcome to section 1 of the manual, aka User Commands, aka where the little executables live 💅

✨ NAME ✨

fpcjres — manual page for fpcjres, a resource file converter. that's the whole vibe. converter of resources. slay 🦋

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so fpcjres is not a program you go out of your way to run, bestie — it's the free pascal compiler's little helper 🫶. the compiler calls it up and it does the translating: it takes your {$R xxx} directives and turns them into java resources that you can then include inside a java class. like a tiny multilingual friend shipping your stuff across the language border, no cap 🌈

the syntax, exactly as the universe intended:

fpcjres [options] <inputfile> [<inputfile>...] [-o <outputfile>]

so: options first, then one or more input files (yes, you can pile them up, it's giving buffet energy 🍓), and optionally -o <outputfile> to name where it all lands.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, no skipping, we don't do that here ✨

• --help, -h, -? — shows a help message screen. three whole ways to say "bestie explain yourself" 😭
• --version, -V — shows the program version. capital V, don't get it twisted 💀
• --verbose, -v — be verbose. lowercase v this time. it will simply talk more, and honestly? iconic 👑
• --input, -i <x> — ignored for compatibility with other tools. yeah. it's there, it does nothing, it's just here so other tools feel seen. fake it till you make it energy 🙈
• --output, -o <x> — set the output file name. this is where the magic gets written 🎀
• @<file> — read more options from file <file>. yes, an at-sign, then a file, and boom, more options get loaded in. options inception 🌸

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• fpc(1) — the free pascal compiler herself, the main character, the one who calls fpcjres in the first place 💖

heads up bestie: that -i / --input flag is a no-op — it's only hanging around for compatibility with other tools, so don't expect it to actually do anything. periodt.

and that's the page!! 🫶 this came out of the User Commands part of the manual, source/version line reading fpcjres - resource file conve..., dated September 2015. stay converting, stay slaying, mwah 💜🦋✨
