NAME¶
awsres - build resource files for Ada Web Server applications
SYNOPSIS¶
awsres [
-h] [
-r unit] [
-q]
file...
DESCRIPTION¶
The Ada Web Server is a library that allows you to embed a web server into your
Ada application. It provides not only HTTP but also SOAP, WSDL and several
other facilities. Thus you can write full-fledged web applications.
awsres allows you to embed resources, such as pictures, into your final
executable, so that your executable is completely self-contained and does not
need to read other files at run time.
awsres works by creating Ada source files that contain the data for your
resources as arrays of bytes. You then compile these Ada source files into
your executable. At run time, the AWS library automatically loads the
resources from the executable whenever available.
awsres creates one parent Ada package named, by default, `res', and one
child package for each of the
files given on the command line. The
package `res' registers each resource when your application starts. To link
`res' into your executable you simply add a `with res;' statement in one of
your source files.
