Go library and command-line tool to extract Qt resources from RCC files and executables.
This package supports resource formats 1-3 and includes language/country code information from Qt 5.13. Resources can be compressed using zlib or zstd.
See pkg.go.dev/github.com/pgaskin/qrc for the Go library documentation.
The command-line tool, qrc2zip, can be installed with GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/pgaskin/qrc/cmd/qrc2zip.
To automatically find offsets for ARM binaries with Qt resources embedded by rcc, use scripts/armqrc.py.
Usage: qrc2zip [options] rcc_file
qrc2zip [options] executable format_version tree_offset data_offset names_offset
Options:
-o, --output string Output filename (default "resources.zip")
-f, --force Ignore errors during extraction if possible
-r, --recursive Expand nested RCC files
-e, --exclude stringArray Exclude files matching this glob (can be specified multiple times)
-v, --verbose Show information about the files being extracted
-h, --help Show this help text
Executable offsets:
To find executable offsets and format version, look for calls to qRegisterResourceData. These
are usually within entry points or qInitResource* functions. qRegisterResourceData takes four
arguments: format, tree, names, data.
Qt support:
Format versions 1-3 are supported, along with locale/country codes from Qt 5.13. Resources
can be compressed with zlib or zstd.
Output:
The extracted resources are written to a zip file. The directory structure is preserved and
separated with forward slashes on all platforms. If the file has language/country constraints,
they are added to the filename before the extension in the format '[language!LanguageName]'
and [country!CountryName]. If the Qt resource format is >= 2, the modification time is also
written for each file.
