qresExtract: Qt binary resource (qres) extractor

A simple program that can extract qres binary resource files generated by the Qt Resource Compiler rcc.

Such files can be detected with

$ xxd -g 1 -l 4 test.bin
00000000: 71 72 65 73                                      qres

Usage:

./qresExtract <resource.bin> [output path]

Output path is optional. If none is specified, then the resource will be extracted to the current working directory. A subdirectory is created for the resource to be extracted.

Inside it, a matching qrc is also generated which can be used with Qt's rcc resource compiler to recreate a new binary resource.

Example:

$ ./qresExtract test.bin
/test.txt
/test2.txt

$ cat test/test.txt
Hello,

$ cat test/test2.txt
World!

Requires Qt5: qt5-default (or equivalent)

Compile with:

$ qmake && make
