\title Resource Compiler (rcc)
49
The \c rcc tool is used to embed resources into a Qt application during
50
the build process. It works by generating a C++ source file containing
51
data specified in a Qt resource (.qrc) file.
54
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_rcc.qdoc 0
56
RCC accepts the following command line options:
59
\header \o Option \o Argument \o Description
61
\row \o \c{-o} \o \o Writes output to file rather than
64
\row \o \c{-name} \o \c name \o Creates an external initialization
67
\row \o \c{-threshold} \o \c level \o Specifies a threshold (in bytes)
68
to use when compressing files. If
69
the file is smaller than the
70
threshold, it will not be
71
compressed, independent of what
72
the compression level is.
74
\row \o \c{-compress} \o \c level \o Compresses input files with the
75
given level. Level is an integer
76
from 1 to 9 - 1 being the fastest,
77
producing the least compression;
78
9 being the slowest, producing
81
\row \o \c{-root} \o \c path \o Prefixes the resource access path
84
\row \o \c{-no-compress} \o \o Disables all compression.
86
\row \o \c{-binary} \o \o Outputs a binary file for use as
89
\row \o \c{-version} \o \o Displays version information.
91
\row \o \c{-help} \o \o Displays usage information.
94

95
resources in Qt applications.
