## Discussion

Discussion Use the embed rule to embed the bytes that represent the contents of a resource into executable code. For example,  if you embed the file identifier.txt that has the contents: Hello Swift Package manager generates a PackageResources class with each embedded resource as a static property based on the name of the resource. For the example above, the code generated by Package Manager is equivalent to the following source: struct PackageResources {     static let identifier_txt: [UInt8] = [72,101,108,108,111,32,83,119,105,102,116,10] }
