EXTRESSO(1)                 General Commands Manual                EXTRESSO(1)

NAME
       extresso - wrapper for wrestool and icotool

SYNOPSIS
       extresso [OPTIONS]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the extresso command.  This manual
       page was written for the Debian GNU distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

       Extresso reads resource scripts, and uses wrestool to extract the
       listed resources and icotool to convert them (if necessary).

OPTIONS
       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
       options starting with two dashes (`-').

       -o,--output=DIR
              Where to place extracted files (default `.').

       --format=FORMAT
              Extraction format of icon resources, passed to icotool.

       -b,--base=DIR
              Base directory of local files in scripts. (This will be appended
              to ``file'' lines in the scripts.)

       -i,--interactive
              Prompt before extraction.

       -v,--verbose
              Explain what is being done.

       --help Display a help message and exit.

       --version
              Output version information and exit.

EXAMPLES
       Extract all resources from shell32.dll using the resource script
       ``win98_shell32'', assuming it is available in
       ``/windows/windows/system/shell32.dll'', and placing output in
       ``out/'':

         $ extresso ../data/resscripts/win98_shell32 --base=/windows/windows
       --output=out/
         $ find out/ -type f | wc -l
         339
         $
