    \title Resource Compiler (rcc)
    \ingroup qttools
    \keyword rcc

    The \c rcc tool is used to embed resources into a Qt application during
    the build process. It works by generating a C++ source file containing
    data specified in a Qt resource (.qrc) file.

    Usage:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_rcc.qdoc 0

    RCC accepts the following command line options:

    \table
    \header \o Option         \o Argument \o Description

    \row \o \c{-o} \o \c{file} \o Write output to \c{file} rather than to stdout.

    \row \o \c{-name} \o \c{name} \o Create an external initialization 
    	    	      	 	     function with \c{name}.

    \row \o \c{-threshold} \o \c{level} \o Specifies a threshold \c{level} (in 
    	    		      		   bytes) to use when deciding whether
					   to compress a file. If the file is 
					   smaller than the threshold \c{level}, 
					   it is not compressed. The default
					   threshold level is 70 bytes.
                                             
    \row \o \c{-compress} \o \c{level} \o Compress input files to the given
                                          compression \c{level}, which is an 
					  integer in the range 1 to 9. Level 1 
					  does the least compression but is 
					  fastest. Level 9 does the most 
					  compression but is slowest. To turn 
					  off compression, use \c{-no-compress}. 
					  The default value for \c{level} is -1,
					  which means use zlib's default 
					  compression level. 

    \row \o \c{-root} \o \c{path} \o Prefix the resource access path with \c{path}.
    	    	      	 	     The default is no prefix.

    \row \o \c{-no-compress} \o \o Disable compression.

    \row \o \c{-binary} \o \o Output a binary file for use as a dynamic resource.

    \row \o \c{-version} \o \o Display version information.

    \row \o \c{-help} \o \o Display usage information.

    \endtable
