✨ peicon(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to peicon β€” part of the hxtools collection πŸ’– it's a lil command-line girlie (section 1, the classic) and she does exactly one thing and she does it iconically.


🌸 NAME 🌸

peicon β€” extract icon resources from PE files πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

peicon [-Llv] [-o virtual-shift]

that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, slays πŸ’…


πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So here's the tea β˜• β€” peicon extracts the icons from PE files. That's it, that's the job, and she's obsessed with it.

The icons get written out to files named like this:

pe-%x:%x.ico

where the first number is the icon group number and the second is the independent icon number. So every icon gets its own lil file, properly labeled, no chaos, no confusion. periodt. ✨


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

  • -L β€” bestie, the manual genuinely just lists it and says nothing else. πŸ™ˆ No description, no explanation, just -L sitting there with main character energy. It's in the synopsis too, so it's real, but the docs are keeping their secrets. iykyk πŸ’€
Also spotted in the synopsis: -l, -v, and -o virtual-shift β€” the syntax line knows about them, but the OPTIONS section never introduces them. Not me noticing the lore gap 😭
