## NAME

swipl-rc - SWI-Prolog resource archiver

## SYNOPSIS

**swipl-rc** *command resource-file member ...*\

## DESCRIPTION

The utility **swipl-rc** allows for examining and modifying the SWI-Prolog resource data associated with a SWI-Prolog save-state or runtime executable as created using SWI-Prolog's predicate **qsave\_program/\[1,2\].**

### Options

  List the contents of the resource archive.  If no members are specified, the entire content is listed.

- **x** *archive* *\[member ...\]*

  Extract members from the archive into the current directory. If no members are specified, the entire content is extracted.  Each member is extracted into a file with the same name as the archive member.

Anywhere in the sequence of members, the options **--class=***class* and **--encoding=***encoding* may appear.  They affect the class and encoding of subsequent files. The initial class is **data** and encoding **none.**
