# summary

Generate a static resource.

# description

Generates the metadata resource file in the specified directory or the current working directory. Static resource files must be contained in a parent directory called "staticresources" in your package directory. Either run this command from an existing directory of this name, or use the --output-dir flag to create one or point to an existing one.

# examples

  <%= config.bin %> <%= command.id %> --name MyResource
