heksa - hex file dumper v1.13.0 - (2020-08-04T21:40:08+03:00)
(c) Pekka Järvinen 2019- [ https://github.com/raspi/heksa ]
SYNOPSIS:
    heksa [--format|-f <fmt1,fmt2,..>] [--help|-h|-?]
          [--limit|-l <[prefix]bytes[unit]>] [--offset-format|-o <fmt1[,fmt2]>]
          [--seek|-s <[prefix]offset[unit]>] [--splitter|-S <size>] [--version]
          [--width|-w <[prefix]width>] <filename> or STDIN

OPTIONS:
    --format|-f <fmt1,fmt2,..>          One or multiple of: asc, bit, bitwasc, bitwdec, bitwhex, blk, dec, decwasc, hex, hexwasc, oct (default: "hex,asc")

    --help|-h|-?                        Show this help (default: false)

    --limit|-l <[prefix]bytes[unit]>    Read only N bytes (0 = no limit). See NOTES. (default: "0")

    --offset-format|-o <fmt1[,fmt2]>    One or two of: dec, hex, humiec, humsi, oct, per, no, ''.
                                        First one is displayed on the left side and second one on right side after formatters. (default: "hex")

    --seek|-s <[prefix]offset[unit]>    Start reading from certain offset. See NOTES. (default: "0")

    --splitter|-S <size>                Insert visual splitter every N bytes. Zero (0) disables. (default: 8)

    --version                           Show version information (default: false)

    --width|-w <[prefix]width>          Width. See NOTES. (default: "16")


NOTES:
    - You can use prefixes for seek, limit and width. 0x = hex, 0b = binary, 0o = octal
    - Use '--seek \-1234' for seeking from end of file
    - Limit and seek parameters supports units (KB, KiB, MB, MiB, GB, GiB, TB, TiB)
    - Offset formatters:
      - Disable formatter output with 'no' or ''
      - 'humiec' (IEC: 1024 B) and 'humsi' (SI: 1000 B) displays offset in human form (n KiB/KB)

EXAMPLES:
    heksa -f hex,asc,bit foo.dat
    heksa -o hex,per -f hex,asc foo.dat
    heksa -o hex -f hex,asc,bit foo.dat
    heksa -o no -f bit foo.dat
    heksa -l 0x1024 foo.dat
    heksa -s 0b1010 foo.dat
    heksa -s 4321KiB foo.dat
    heksa -w 8 foo.dat

    I'd like to be able to adjust the width of the output from the current 2x8 format to a chosen width or be possibly redraw to match the console width on a SIGWINCH?

  • Fixed offset marker

    Fixed offset marker

    Add --marker parameter which marks every N bytes with visual marker. Highlight with some color and/or add bold/underline effect.

    The use case is file formats that use fixed block size(s). Marker helps to see where next block starts/ends.

    Example:

    heksa --marker 1KiB

    It could also be some sort of loop:

    heksa --marker 1KiB,2KiB,5B

    This would set first marker at 1 KiB, then the next (last + 2KiB) and the next (last + 5 B) and then again (last + 1 KiB) and so on..

  • Search functionality

    Search functionality

    Add --search or --find parameter for searching bytes. Highlight the found bytes with some color and/or add bold/underline effect.

    Example:

    heksa --search 'Hello' hello.txt

    Also what about case (in)sensitivity?

    Maybe also add search option where you can use a file as search source:

    heksa --search-file find-this.dat hello.txt

    This will probably require double buffered io.Reader with moving search "window". The first will read for example 1024 bytes of file and mark the found search position offsets. The second is the currently used one which reads width bytes and needs to be changed to read from the bigger buffer. This changes the reader's current functionality a lot and needs some rewrites.

    Other considerations:

    Hex search where only [0-9a-f ] can be used in the search string:

    heksa --search-hex '00010203040506...' hello.txt
heksa --search-hex '00 01 02 03 04 05 06 ...' hello.txt
