include-bin

C++ program that generates C arrays from binary data. It's output is similar to xxd -i.

Extra features:

uses sanitized input filename for variable names
output lines are shorter than 79 characters

Compilation

Just compile main.cpp with your favourite C++ compiler. This code is compatible even with C++98 standard.

g++ -O2 ./main.cpp -o include-bin

Usage

./include-bin [infile [outfile]]

If there is no outfile argument it will print on stdout. If there is also no infile argument it will read from stdin. In latter case array name will be "data".

Example:

sh-3.2$ hexdump te-st.txt
0000000 17 18 19 20 11 10 12 56 41 00 00 d0 d0 11 25 ff
0000010 ff 00 ff 00
0000014
sh-3.2$ ./include-bin te-st.txt out.c
sh-3.2$ cat out.c
unsigned char te_st_txt[] = {
  0x17, 0x18, 0x19, 0x20, 0x11, 0x10, 0x12, 0x56, 0x41, 0x00, 0x00, 0xd0,
  0xd0, 0x11, 0x25, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, 0x00
};
unsigned int te_st_txt_len = 20;
