NAME

       catrez - concatenate resource forks from files

SYNOPSIS

       catrez [-av] -d dest_file file1 [ file2...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       catrez  concatenates  resources  from  multiple files into the resource
       fork of a single file. (The data fork of the destination  file  is  not
       modified.)   This  is  useful to programmers who create resources for a
       program in several different files and need to combine  them  into  the
       resource fork of the final executable file.

OPTIONS

       -v     Produce verbose output, including: the program version, the name
              of each source file, the type & ID of each copied resource,  and
              whether a resource converter is required.

       -a     Append resources to the destination file rather than overwriting
              the resource fork.

       -d destfile
              Existing destination file name [required parameter].

GNO COMPATIBILITY

       catrez will shut itself down if it receives any of the  following  sig‐
       nals:

              SIGHUP  (hang-up),
              SIGINT  (user keyboard interrupt),
              SIGPIPE (writing to a pipe with no reader),
              SIGALRM (alarm timer expiration), or
              SIGTERM (kill).

       User signals (SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2) are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       Append the resources from menu.r to the resource fork of progfile:
              catrez -a -d progfile menu.r

       Combine several resource files and add to progfile
              catrez -d progfile version.r menu.r window.r startup.r
