Usage

Download the tool from here.

You must give the input file as the first argument; optionally you may specify the output filename (otherwise this defaults to the input filename with the extension changed to .h), the variable name, and the switch -nosize to suppress the creation of a variable representing the size of the data block created.

Syntax

bin2h <input filename> [<output filename> [<variable name> [-nosize]]]

Input filename	Required	Identifies the file to be converted.
Output filename	Optional	Defaults to the input filename with the extension changed to '.h'.
Variable name	Optional	Defaults to the output filename with the extension removed.
-nosize	Optional	If this switch is not present, an integer variable representing the size of the char array will be created, with the same name with _size appended. If present, this variable will not be created.

Example

bin2h bin2h.exe bin2h.h -nosize

This will create a file, bin2h.h, which defines a variable of type unsigned char [] named bin2h, but will not define the variable bin2h_size which would otherwise indicate the size of that array.
