Resource Compiler (rcc)

The rcc tool is used to embed resources into a Qt application during the build process. It works by generating a C++ source file containing data specified in a Qt resource (.qrc) file.

Usage:

 rcc [options] <inputs>

RCC accepts the following command line options:

Option	Argument	Description
`-o`	`file`	Write output to `file` rather than to stdout.
`-name`	`name`	Create an external initialization function with `name`.
`-threshold`	`level`	Specifies a threshold `level` (as a percentage) to use when deciding whether to compress a file. If the reduction in the file size is greater than the threshold `level`, it is compressed; otherwise, the uncompressed data is stored instead. The default threshold level is 70%, meaning that compressed files which are 30% or less of their original size are stored as compressed data.
`-compress`	`level`	Compress input files to the given compression `level`, which is an integer in the range 1 to 9. Level 1 does the least compression but is fastest. Level 9 does the most compression but is slowest. To turn off compression, use `-no-compress`. The default value for `level` is -1, which means use zlib's default compression level.
`-root`	`path`	Prefix the resource access path with `path`. The default is no prefix.
`-no-compress`		Disable compression.
`-binary`		Output a binary file for use as a dynamic resource.
`-version`		Display version information.
`-help`		Display usage information.
