inliner takes a file and outputs a Rust const variable declaration containing all the bytes in that
file. This declaration can then be pasted into your Rust code.
"How about include_bytes!()?"
This macro requires you to have non source files in your source tree, which is not always desirable (the build can break if you move these files around, you might want to make these binary files not searchable, etc...).
Usage: inliner.exe [OPTIONS] <FILE_NAME>
Arguments:
<FILE_NAME>
Options:
-c, --columns <COLUMNS> Max number of columns [default: 80]
-i, --indent <INDENT> Number of spaces for indentation [default: 4]
-v, --variable <VARIABLE> Name of the variable [default: derived from the file name]
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
For example:
$ inliner --columns 60 --indent 2 --variable ROM dsk.rom
const ROM: [u8; 237] = [
0x23, 0x47, 0x68, 0x69, 0x64, 0x72, 0x61, 0x20, 0x4C,
0x6F, 0x63, 0x6B, 0x20, 0x46, 0x69, 0x6C, 0x65, 0x0D,
...
