Symbolic icon conversion utility

    gtk-encode-symbolic-svg
    OPTION...
    PATH
    WIDTHxHEIGHT

## Description

`gtk-encode-symbolic-svg` converts symbolic svg icons into specially prepared png files. GTK+ can load and recolor these pngs, just like original svgs, but loading them is much faster.

`PATH` is the name of a symbolic svg file, `WIDTH`x`HEIGHT` are the desired dimensions for the generated png file.

To distinguish them from ordinary pngs, the generated files have the extension `.symbolic.png`.

## Options

-o `DIRECTORY`

--output `DIRECTORY`

- Write png files to `DIRECTORY` instead of the current working directory.
