FileAsCArray

FileAsCArray is a command-line tool designed to convert any file into a C-style array, making it easier for developers to embed binary data directly into C or C++ source code.

Usage

python file_as_c_array.py <file_path> [-o <output_path>]

• <file_path>: Path to the binary file to be converted.

• -o, --output (optional): Output file to write the C array. If not specified, the output will be printed to the console.

Example

python file_as_c_array.py ./path/to/github-logo.png

const uint8_t github-logo[460] = {
    0x89, 0x50, 0x4e, 0x47, 0x0d, 0x0a, 0x1a, 0x0a,
    0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0d, 0x49, 0x48, 0x44, 0x52,
    0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x10,
