Add '-s' option and update the manual page. With this option, it prints little more style(9) friendly output. For example:
%file2c -n 8 -s -x 'const char data[] = {' '};' < /etc/motd const char data[] = { 0x46, 0x72, 0x65, 0x65, 0x42, 0x53, 0x44, 0x20, 0x37, 0x2e, 0x30, 0x2d, 0x43, 0x55, 0x52, 0x52, 0x45, 0x4e, 0x54, 0x20, 0x28, 0x42, 0x45, 0x41, 0x53, 0x54, 0x49, 0x45, 0x29, 0x20, 0x23, 0x30, 0x3a, 0x20, 0x57, 0x65, 0x64, 0x20, 0x4d, 0x61, 0x72, 0x20, 0x32, 0x31, 0x20, 0x31, 0x39, 0x3a, 0x30, 0x34, 0x3a, 0x33, 0x36, 0x20, 0x45, 0x44, 0x54, 0x20, 0x32, 0x30, 0x30, 0x37, 0x0a };

This is a small little program used to execute a bad practice a clean way :-) It will read a file on stdin and write it as decimal integers on stdout, this is useful for embedding files in c-sources.
There are a few places where this is needed, and this is a better way than the current practice of hand-editing the sources.
The command:
date | file2c 'const char date[] = {' ',0};'
will produce:
const char date[] = { 83,97,116,32,74,97,110,32,50,56,32,49,54,58,52,55,58,51,51,32,80,83,84, 32,49,57,57,53,10 ,0};
The manual page is 2 lines longer than the source :-)
