### Description

### Commands

Usage | Synopsis
------|-------
`$ ns resources generate icons <Path to image>` | Generate all icons for Android and iOS based on the specified image.

### Options

* `--background` Sets the background color of the icon. When no color is specified, a default value of `transparent` is used. `<Color>` is a valid color and can be represented with string, like `white`, `black`, `blue`, or with HEX representation, for example `#FFFFFF`, `#000000`, `#0000FF`.

* `<Path to image>` is a valid path to an image that will be used to generate all icons.
