✨ pappl-makeresheader ✨

okay so bestie, this one is a little command-line cutie from the PAPPL family — it's a resource header utility, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge glow-up" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pappl-makeresheader FILES > FILENAME.h

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so pappl-makeresheader makes a C header file that you can literally just include in a printer application. no cap. 🖨️✨

that header file creates a C unsigned char array or a string constant, and you can use it with the papplSystemAddResourceData or papplSystemAddResourceString functions — or as data for a printer icon in the pappl_icon_t structure. iconic behaviour tbh 👑

the C variable names used for each file? generated by replacing all spaces, dots, and dashes with the underscore. so like, a file named my printer-icon.png would have the C variable name my_printer_icon_png. the way it just swaps those characters out... obsessed 🫶
