Portable parsing and editing of EXE files, including icon and string resources.
A portable EXE file editor supporting parsing and replacing resources, designed
to replace rcedit for cases like CI where using Windows would otherwise be
overkill.
It is still very early, only just barely enough for our internal usage is currently implemented, but I hope to fill this out quite a bit more, when I will fill out the documentation. For now, the CLI usage should be somewhat usable depending on inputs, but the API is very unstable.
The main limitation is the lack of section resizing and moving, meaning you can't increase the size of the included resources yet.
Designed to allow replacing rcedit:
$ exe-edit --help
