<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>gdk-pixbuf-csource</command> is a small utility that generates C code
containing images, useful for compiling images directly into programs.
</para>
</refsect1>

<refsect1><title>Invocation</title>
<para>
<command>gdk-pixbuf-csource</command> either takes as input one image file name
to generate code for, or, using the <option>--build-list</option> option, a 
list of (<replaceable>name</replaceable>, <replaceable>image</replaceable>)
pairs to generate code for a list of images into named variables.
</para>
