Date: 2016jan2 Language: C/C++ Q. How can I easily include a binary file in my code? A. Use the xxd command with --include option:

xxd --include example.data

When file example.data contains "example\n" you get:

unsigned char example_data[] = { 0x65, 0x78, 0x61, 0x6d, 0x70, 0x6c, 0x65, 0x0a }; unsigned int example_data_len = 8;

So, of course you can do:

xxd --include example.data > example.cpp

Perhaps in a Makefile
