# icnsutil(1)

Utility to convert between '.iconset' and '.icns' files.

## NAME

icnsutil - Utility to convert between '.iconset' and '.icns' files.

## SYNOPSIS

**iconutil -c {icns \| iconset} \[-o *file*\] *file***

## DESCRIPTION

icnsutil is intended to be a functional clone of the Darwin iconutil,\
  which converts between '.iconset' and '.icns' files. The tool takes a\
  single source '.icns' file or '.iconset' and converts it to either a\
  '.icns' or '.iconset' depending on the value of the -c flag's\
  argument.

 It is possible to specify the name of the output file by passing the\
  file path as the argument to the -o flag. If -o is not set iconutil\
  will write converted '.icns' file or '.iconset' to the same directory\
  as the source file using the same file name with the correct extension\
  for the output type.
