It can change whether the executable runs with a console window, as well as setting the icons, manifest and version information associated with it. In general, a PE file must have an existing resource section or you cannot add icons, manifests or version info. However, on Win32 platforms a new resource section will be created if none exists. =head1 OPTIONS Options are available in a I form and a I form. For example, the three lines below are all equivalent: % exe_update.pl -i new.ico input.exe % exe_update.pl --icon new.ico input.exe % exe_update.pl --icon=new.ico input.exe =over 4 =item B<-c>, B<--console> Set the executable to always display a console window. =item B<-g>, B<--gui> Set the executable so it does not have a console window. =item B<-i>, B<--icon>=I Specify an icon file (in F<.ico>, F<.exe> or F<.dll> format) for the executable. =item B<-m>, B<--manifest>=I Specify a manifest file in F<.xml> format for the executable. =item B<-N>, B<--info>=I Attach version information for the executable. The name/value pair is joined by C<=>. You may specify C<-N> multiple times, or use C<;> to link several pairs. These special C names are recognized: Comments CompanyName FileDescription FileVersion InternalName LegalCopyright LegalTrademarks OriginalFilename ProductName ProductVersion =item B<-A>, B<--manifestargs>=I As an alternative to specifying a manifest file, specify manifest attributes. The name/value pair is joined by C<=>. You may specify C<-A> multiple times, or use C<;> to link several pairs. This option may be preferable to using a manifest file as these attributes will be combined with any existing manifest that may be in the executable. These special C names are recognized: ExecutionLevel UIAccess ExecName Description CommonControls Version The CommonControls key is a simple boolean value to indicate that the Common Controls Version 6.0.0.0 dependency should be added to the manifest. e.g --manifestargs="ExecutionLevel=requireAdministrator;ExecName=My.App;CommonControls=1" --manifestargs="Version=1.3.6.7895;UIAccess=false" =back =cut my $Options = {}; Getopt::Long::GetOptions( $Options, 'g|gui', # No console window 'c|console', # Use console window 'i|icon:s', # Icon file 'm|manifest:s', # manifest file 'N|info:s@', # Executable header info 'A|manifestargs:s@' # manifest arguments ); my $exe = shift or die "Usage: " . basename($0) .
