resource_script_file 

resource_file

If the binary resource file does not already exist, irc creates it; otherwise, irc replaces the existing file. If the file is not in the current directory, you must provide a full path.

The binary resource file must have the .res filename extension.

-Ddefname[=value]

This option is useful for passing conditional compilation flags to the preprocessor.

defname is any sequence of letters, underscore symbols, and digits which does not begin with a digit.

value is a sequence of symbols which you want to substitute for the defname wherever it appears in the input script file. If you omit =value, the value of defname will default to 1. For example, the option -D_3d is equivalent to including the following at the beginning of the input file:

#define _3d 1

You can use the -D option up to 8 times to define different macros from the command line.

-h
-?

These options cause the Resource Compiler to display a help summary of available options. When you use the -h or -? options, the Resource Compiler does not read any input files.

Entering irc on the command line with no operands also displays the help summary, shown below.

irc [<options>] <.rc input file> [<.res output file>]
Options: -D<defname> - Preprocessor define
-I<path> - Include file path
-lang language - language
-n - Don't show logo
-z - Ignore os2.h
-w[1|2|4] - Suppress warnings
-? - Access Help
-h - Access Help

-Ipath

This option defines paths for files to be included with the source file. The path is any path where you want irc to search for files included by the preprocessor #include directive. The path must not contain embedded blanks. To include more than one path, code the -I option once for each path.

-langlanguage

The -lang option specifies the language in which the resource script is compiled. The value of language is a POSIX locale.

-w
-w1
-w2
-w4

-z

This option aids portability between AIX and OS/2 compilation environments. It causes the Resource Compiler to ignore the os.h header file which is valid in the OS/2 environment, but not available for AIX.
