# Binary to C string (literal)

This small tool was made for embedding data in self-compiling executables.

The program converts a file by filename from command line into a C string

literal to stdout.

Use shell redirection or concatenation to save the results.

The -p command line flag can be used to try to output printable characters

as such, but keeping to just hex escape sequences may compress better.

## Installation

    cc -Os main.c -o /bin2cstr

I recommend installing to ~/.local/bin or similar
