- DESCRIPTION:
-
- Ad2c is a program which converts X resource files into C
- declarations appropriate for inclusion as fallback resources.
- The program is a sed script which is effectively a finite state
- machine, escaping quotes and backslashes (and newlines where
- necessary), and adding quotes and commas as needed for array
- initialization.
