Installation

cargo install bred

Usage

``` Usage: bred [OPTIONS] [FILE]

Arguments: [FILE] The file to read or stdin if not provided

Options: -l, --length Number of characters to print [default for hex: 8] [default: 64] -c, --chunk Chunk size (faster but more memory usage) [default: 4096] -x, --hex Print in hex -G, --color Print in color -s, --space Explicitly display space as placeholder: (_) -b, --binary Print in binary -h, --help Print help information -V, --version Print version information ```

To use, input a file (or stdin is used), and add any desired options.
_
The --length option changes how many characters to print (not including any formatting like offsets and borders).
The --chunk option changes how large the buffer array should be; the bigger it is, the faster but uses more memory.
The --hex option simply prints the input in hexadecimal.
The --color option uses colors to differentiate between letters (\0 are gray, others indicate how large the character code is, and orange is non-ascii characters). Note, make sure you use a terminal emulator that supports ANSI 256-color mode.
The --space option replaces all the spaces (0x20) with a green-colored _. This also affects the hex output.
The --binary option prints the input in binary
