JEEX(1)

💖 JEEX(1) — the hex editor that ate 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're talking about jeex, a General Commands Manual situation, and she is that girl when it comes to looking at raw bytes.

✨ NAME ✨

jeex — a GTK+ hexadecimal editor. that's it, that's the vibe. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

jeex [options] files...

like. you give her options, you give her files, she does her thing. main character energy fr.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so jeex is a simple GTK+ hexadecimal editor, and what that means in practice is: you can open any file, and you can edit any file. that's the whole deal. no cap. any file. she's not picky, she's just iconic. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you a lil summary of the options. the "help me help you" button. 🫶
• -v, --version — shows the version of the program. so you know exactly which jeex you're dealing with. ✨
• -g, --gtk — shows the GTK+ help. the GTK+ lore, if you will. 🌈
• -s FILE:type1,type2,..., --show-struct FILE:type1,type2,... — shows the file's data in structures with the types you specify. you hand her a file, you hand her a comma-separated list of types, she serves the data back all structured. 🍓
• -p FILE:starting_byte,ending_byte, --show-portion FILE:starting_byte,ending_byte — shows a portion of the file. you give her the file plus a starting_byte and an ending_byte, and she shows you exactly that slice. no more, no less. 🧚

heads up bestie: -s and -p both want their argument glued together with a colon — FILE:... — so don't go putting a space in there, she will not understand you. 😭
