MI(1) Commands and Applications MI(1)
NAME
mi - Mass import of data into a resource fork
SYNOPSIS
mi [-v -t type -i id -a attr] resource_file data_file1 ...
DESCRIPTION
mi is useful for importing large amounts of data into a program's
resource fork without the time consuming process of launching a
graphical resource editor.
-v Verbose mode. mi will print information on each
resource as it is imported.
-t type Specify resource type. type must be a decimal value.
-i id Specify resource starting id. id must be a decimal value.
-a attr Specify resource attr. attr must be a decimal value.
A value of 16 specifies noCrossBank. Look in
/usr/include/resources.h for more details.
resource_file The first file specified will be the destination for
the new resources.
data_file1... As many as 255 datafiles will be imported with
sequential resource ids.
mi scans from id 1 looking for unused resource ids. When one is found,
the imported data will be given that id. Also, mi sets the resource
name to the filename of the datafile.
All strings within mi are set to use argv[0] as the program name,
so you can rename mi to whatever you like.
ERRORS
An error on accessing the destination file will cause an abort.
An error on accessing a datafile will cause mi to skip that file.
mi returns GS/OS errors in hexadecimal format.
Improper command formats generate a usage message.
BUGS
None known.
NOTES
GNO/ME is severely lacking in resource utilities. This program was
written for the dungeonQuest project. Should a need arise for
other such resource tools, I will write them.
