bie is a tool for generating a simple indexed flat archive.

Example:
========

$ echo "foo" >a
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=b bs=30 count=1
$ zlib-flate -compress <bie.c >c
$ bie archive.bie archive.idx a b c
$ hexdump -C archive.bie
00000000  66 6f 6f 0a 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |foo.............|

... SNIP ...
$ cat archive.idx
BIE_ENTRY(a, 0, 4)
BIE_ENTRY(b, 16, 30)
BIE_ENTRY(c, 48, 750)

Use:
====

Create an archive and index from a list of files you wish to access
from your program.

Use the CPP or another macro processor to expand BIE_ENTRY to some
code which stores this information in your program.

Read the archive into memory (or link it in) and use the offset and
size data from the index to read from the archive.

Dependencies:
=============

eprintf - https://the-tk.com/cgit/eprintf/
Place in a directory adjacent to the location of the bie sources or
override EPRINTF_PATH in config.mk

Compilation and Installation:
=============================

$ echo prefix=/usr >config.mk
$ make
# make install
