Escape ASCII

An extremely tiny tool to convert stdin raw byte stream to printable escaped-ascii form, such as byte literals in source codes on many programming languages (e.g. "\x1b\x04printable\x16\n").

This tool just help calling the rust function slice::escapeascii directly from command line.
For more information about how this tool converts, check the rust official documentations of std::ascii::escapedefault.

Install

shell $ cargo install escape-ascii

Example

• Get random 10 bytes and convert to escaped-ascii form shell $ BYTES="$(cat /dev/urandom | head -c10)" $ printf "%s" "$BYTES"; echo ��f�YڵH $ printf "%s" "$BYTES" | escape-ascii; echo \x8a\x8bf\xa1\x8f\x08Y\xda\xb5H
