GENRESSCRIPT(1)

💖 GENRESSCRIPT — genresscript(1), General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for genresscript — yes, from the General Commands Manual section of your local man setup — and she generates resource scripts from PE and NE binaries. iconic behavior, honestly. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

genresscript — generate resource script from PE and NE binaries

like. she takes binaries and she gives you a script. no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

genresscript [FILE]...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand her FILEs (as many as you want, the ... said so) and she does her thing. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, real talk: this manual page documents the genresscript command briefly. and here's the tea — this page was written for the Debian GNU distribution specifically because the original program literally does not have a manual page. not one. so Colin and Oskar said "fine, we'll do it ourselves." main character energy, truly. 😭✨

genresscript takes any number of PE or NE binaries, and outputs a resource script with all the resources from the binaries listed. (And yes, everything but the destination filename will be filled in in the script — that part's on you, bestie. 💀) This is useful when you already have extracted images and want to create a resource script of them.

so like… you already did the extracting? you already have the images sitting there looking cute? this is your girl. she'll write you the script. 🧚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -t
• --type=ID — list resources of this type instead of group_icon. so if you're not feeling the default group_icon moment, tell her the ID you actually want. ✨
• -b
• --base=PATH — the default extraction name of all resources. sets your PATH baseline for where the resources get named out to. 🌈
• -s
• --sort — sort alphabetically instead of using the order in the binary. so if you're a chaos goblin who respects the binary's original ordering, skip this one; if you want alphabetized slay, hit it. 👑
• --help — display this help and exit. she'll tell you everything and then dip. 🙈
• --version — output version information and exit. just the receipts, then bye. 💖
