A simple command line tool to pass data into a C/C++ header/source format

packer [-i input_filename] [-o output_filename] [-d header_filename] [-v variable_name] [-t variable_type] [-p] [-c]

• -i "filename" (for input file)
• -o "filename" (for output file)
• -v, specifies variable name
• -t, specifies the variable type
• -d, specifies the filename for the header (the header file is ommited by default)
• -p, enables the use of pragma once for header guarding
• -c, enables the use of extern "C" in the header file

Run make in the source directory.

Just compile the packer.c source file with the compiler of your choice

test.txt contains some text data

$ packer -i test.txt
const unsigned char var_name[] = { 0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x20, 0x74, 0x68, ... };
