<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>
<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>

<refsect1><title>Bugs</title>
<para>
The runlength encoder gets out of sync with the pixel boundaries, since
it includes the rowstride padding in the encoded stream. Furthermore, it
generates pixbufs with suboptimal rowstride in some cases.
