blobld

Create a 64bit ELF object from a file, with two symbols:

prefix_start: location of blob
  prefix_end: end of blob

Useful for embedding resources in an executable

Usage:

blobld [-s symbol_prefix] [-o output_file] input_file

This essentially replicates

(GNU) ld --format=binary input_file -o output_file

but more simply and less flexibly.

To access from C:

extern const char prefix_start[];
extern const char prefix_end[];

int main() {
	// returns size of blob
	return prefix_end - prefix_start;
}
