HEXDUMPY(1)

📦 version 3.4, in epel 10, fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is hexdumpy — the manual page for hexdumpy version 3.4. that's the whole name section, we keep it cute and we keep it short. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. here's how you actually use it, fr fr:

hexdumpy [binfile|-] hexdumpy -r hexfile hexdumpy --test
[logfile]

that's the usage block, exactly as it lives. hexdumpy takes a binary file — or -, which is giving "read from stdin" energy — and dumps it. flip on -r and you're going the other way, rebuilding the binary out of a hex file. and then there's --test, which takes an optional [logfile]. three whole modes, three whole vibes. 💅

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out. exit stage left. 👑
  • -h, --help — prints this help message and exits. the classic "bestie I'm lost" button. 🙈
  • -r, --restore — restores the binary from a hex dump. it's the reverse-girlie of a hexdump and honestly? iconic. ✨
  • --test — runs hexdump sanity checks. a little vibe check for your hexdump, if you will. 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the full documentation for hexdumpy is maintained as a Texinfo manual. if the info and hexdumpy programs are properly installed at your site, this command

info hexdumpy

should give you access to the complete manual. so like, if you want the deep lore, that's where the deep lore is. 📚💜

ngl, if you got here and you don't have info installed, the manual is just… not reachable that way. no cap. make sure both programs are properly installed first. 🫶

okay that's the whole page, bestie!! this was hexdumpy 3.4, dated December 2017 — shoutout to that era, we stan a classic. slay, stay hexed, and remember: every flag matters, periodt. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
