Value: Add, Update, Extract or Delete

The operation to perform

Value: Path to a file

The Win32 PE or RES file to modify or extract resources from.

Value: Resource type identifier

Identifies the type of resource to work with. For string and integer identifiers just putting the value is sufficient. Note that some string values are synonymous with some integer values. Consult the table below.

Other type IDs exist but are not listed. Consult MSDN or the Anolis source for an exhaustive list.

Value: Resource name identifier

Identifies the name of resource to work with. For string and integer identifiers just putting the value is sufficient. If a resource has a numeric string identifier then prefix the number with " (backslash, followed by a double-quote) E.g.: -name:"0. If a resource identifier starts with a double-quote symbol (unlikely) prefix it with "".

Value: Unsigned 16-bit number

This argument is required for adding and extracting, but optional for deleting and updating. If this argument is ommited then all matching resources will be deleted or replaced with the contents of the specified file.

Value: Path to a file

When adding or updating a resource the data is retrieved from this file. When extracting the resource is saved to this file. When deleting this argument is ignored.
