bin2h

• A simple 'binary to C-header' program that can work as platform-independent (just needs a C compiler to do the work)

Usage example

• A simple usage example that dumps eleven bytes from the self bin2h executable file into the default output filename (resolved at runtime)

./bin2h bin2h --symbol-name=binary_file_dump --count=11 --skip=10 --column-size=12

• The result from the above command (bin2h.h):

/*  Auto generated header file by 'bin2h' (VERSION: 0.0.1)
 *  at 21:03:04 - 12/28/21
*/

#pragma once

#if defined (__cplusplus)
extern "C" {
#endif

unsigned long long binary_file_dump_size = 11;

unsigned char binary_file_dump[11] = {
    0x7f, 0x45, 0x4c, 0x46, 0x02, 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 
    0x00, 0x00, 0x00
};

}
#endif
