| <p><span class="command"><strong>glib-compile-resources</strong></span> reads the resource description from |
| <em class="replaceable"><code>FILE</code></em> and the files that it references |
| and creates a binary resource bundle that is suitable for use with the |
| <a class="link" href="GResource.html" title="GResource"><span class="type">GResource</span></a> API. |
| The resulting bundle is then written out as-is, or as C source for linking into |
| an application. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The XML resource files normally have the filename extension <code class="filename">.gresource.xml</code>. |
| For a detailed description of the XML file format, see the |

| includes, so that is is automatically rebuilt if any of them change: |

| compiler support for constructors. However, some (uncommon) compilers may not |
| support this, you can then specify <code class="option">--manual-register</code>, |

| unless this is prevented by a link script or other means. Since libraries |
| usually want to use the functions only internally it can be more useful to |
| declare them as |
