# fprcp(1)

Free Pascal windres preprocessor program.

## NAME

fprcp - Free Pascal windres preprocessor program.

## SYNOPSIS

**fprcp -i file\_name \[-n\] \[-C\] \[-l PASCAL\|C\] \[-p \<include\_path\>\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**fprcp** reads a .rc file and preprocesses it, writing the result to standard output as it goes along. It replaces defined constants with their values, so **windres** can process the resulting file and create a resource.

## USAGE

**fprcp** needs as a minimum the  **-i filename** option, which is the file to process.

## OPTIONS

fprcp has a small number of options to control its behaviour:

- **-C**

  Define the symbol  *symbol* before processing is started.

- **-i file**

  Specify the input file name. This argument is mandatory.

- **-l language**

  Set the programming language for include files. The *language* constant may be one of the following:

  - *C*

    The C programming language.

  - *PASCAL*

    the Pascal programming language

- **-n**

  Do not support nested comments. By default, pascal nested comments are enabled.

- **-p path**

  Set the include path. This may contain several files, separated by semicolons.
