xxd can out put any random set of bytes as C code. For example: > xxd -i tmp.f unsigned char tmp_f[] = { 0x38, 0x4a, 0x39, 0x6f, 0x61 };

xxd can out put any random set of bytes as C code. For example: > xxd -i tmp.f unsigned char tmp_f[] = { 0x38, 0x4a, 0x39, 0x6f, 0x61 }; unsigned int tmp_f_len = 5; I use it as part of a number of build scripts.
