PYSIDE6-RCC(1)

💅 NAME 💅

pyside6-rcc — bestie, this is literally rcc, the Qt Resource Compiler, and she's here to turn your .qrc files into actual code. So iconic of her.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rcc [options] inputs

That's it. That's the whole vibe. Options then inputs, no cap.

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

Qt Resource Compiler version 6.11.2. She compiles resources. She's been doing this. She's booked and busy. 🎀

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — shows you the help for the commandline options. Your girl is helpful like that 💖
• --help-all — shows help AND the generic Qt options too, because sometimes you want the whole menu, not just the appetizer ✨
• -v, --version — spills the version info. Slay.
• -o, --output <file> — write the output to <file> instead of sending it to stdout. If you're tired of your terminal being the main character, this is for you.
• -t, --temp <file> — use temporary <file> for big resources. Big resources need a little extra room, okay?? She's just like that 🦋
• --name <name> — creates an external initialization function with <name>. Name it whatever, bestie, that's your moment.
• --root <path> — prefix the resource access path with the root path. A little pre-game for your paths 💅
• --compress-algo <algo> — compress input files using algorithm <algo>. Your options are [zstd], zlib, or none. Note the brackets around zstd — that's the default, and she knows she's the default 🔥
• --compress <level> — compress input files by <level>. Dial it in, tune it up, go off.
• --no-compress — disables ALL compression. Same as --compress-algo=none, so don't come for me saying they're different, they are literally the same thing 🙈
• --no-zstd — disables usage of zstd compression. She's saying no to zstd specifically. No further comment.
• --threshold <level> — the threshold used to decide whether to consider compressing files. Delulu threshold? No. Compression threshold. Very real.
• --binary — outputs a binary file for use as a dynamic resource. Binary queen 💀
• -g, --generator <cpp|python|python2> — select your generator. You got cpp, you got python, you got python2. Pick your fighter ⭐
• --pass <number> — pass number for big resources. Yes, big resources get numbered passes. It's a whole thing.
• --namespace — turns OFF namespace macros. Read that again. It turns them OFF. The flag name is a little deceptive, sorry babe, I don't make the rules 😭
• --verbose — enables verbose mode. She will talk. A lot. You asked for it 💜
• --list — only list .qrc file entries, do not generate code. Just showing you what's inside, no output files, no strings attached 🌸
• --list-mapping — only output a mapping of resource paths to file system paths as defined in the .qrc file, do not generate code. So you can see who maps to whom 👀
• -d, --depfile <file> — writes a depfile with the .qrc dependencies to <file>. Dependencies, tracked, documented, handled ✨
• --project — outputs a resource file containing all files from the current directory. Everything in the current dir. ALL of it. She's generous like that 🎀
• --format-version <number> — the RCC format version to write. Pick your number, bestie.

🧚 Arguments:

• inputs — your input files, which are *.qrc files. Give her the .qrc files. That's the assignment 🦋
