- === BinToHunk - Version 1.0 ===
-
- BinToHunk is a utility to convert a raw data file (text, bitmapped
- image, etc.) into an Amiga Hunk format object file.
-
- Usage:
-
- BinToHunk [<options>] <infile> [<outfile> [<data-ident> [ <length-ident>]]]
-
- <infile> is the name of the input file.
-
- <outfile> is the name of the output file. The default <outfile> is
- the <infile> with a `.o' suffix.
-
- <data-ident> is the name of the symbol for the array that contains the
- data. It should start with an underscore if it is to be
- used from C code. The default <data-ident> is <infile>
- without a suffix and a `_' prepended.
-
- <length-ident> is the name of the symbol that gives the number of
- elements in the <data-ident> array. It should start with
- an underscore if it is to be used from C code. The default
- <length-ident> is <data-ident> with a `_length' appended.
-
- <options>:
-
- -c Make hunk load into Chip RAM.
-
- -f Make hunk load into Fast RAM.
-
- -l Don't generate a length symbol.
-
- -t[<term>] Add a terminator <term> to the end of the array. The
- default <term> is zero.
-
- -s<size> Specify the size of the elements in the array to be <size>
- bytes. If -s is not used, the default <size> is 1.
-
- -a Make length symbol an absolute definition. This could be
- useful for assembly programmers.
-
- If necessary, the data will be padded with zeros to make an even number of
- elements in the array.
