Package for encoding different icon files
Encoders for Windows ICO and macOS ICNS files with fine grain control.
NOTE: Not all encode formats are currently supported but the major ones are.
$ npx @shockpkg/icon-encoder
$ npm exec @shockpkg/icon-encoder
$ npm exec shockpkg-icon-encoder
Usage: shockpkg-icon-encoder [options...] (icon.ico | icon.icns) pngs...
-v, --version Show the current version.
-h, --help Show this help message.
--raw Prefer raw png data in icon.
--png Prefer png encoding in ico.
--bmp Prefer bmp encoding in ico.
--toc Include TOC entry in icns.
