hxd - HeX Dump in OCaml
hxd
is a little program to output a hexdump of a /xxd
is to color outputs to be more fancy to read. Then, it provides a way to generate a Caml code which is a dump of inputs. This project was mostly done to be able to integrate dump of some sources (like ngrep
) to an OCaml code - like dump of a smart flow (git protocol) to be able to write easily regression tests with small examples.
For a long time, I worked on several formats and protocols and it always a pain to read dump of something which is only machine-comprehensible. As a MirageOS project, core library is agnostic to the system.
hxd
provides several ways to dump a source:
lib/
is the core library which needs onlybigarray
lib_lwt/
is a library which can be used in a LWT contextlib_lwt_unix/
usesLwt_io.channel
lib_string/
needs only OCaml andbigarray
and provides a pretty-printer functionlib_unix/
usesunix
module
Examples
With:
$ hxd.xxd --color=always dump
Or a Caml output with $ hxd.caml --with-comments dump
:
[
; "\x78\x01\x4b\xca\xc9\x4f\x52\x30\x35\x60\xd0\x48\xad\x48\x4d\x2e" (* x.K..OR05`.H.HM. *)
; "\x2d\x49\x4c\xca\x49\xe5\x52\xd0\xc8\x4b\xcc\x4d\x55\x48\x2b\xad" (* -IL.I.R..K.MUH+. *)
; "\xaa\xd2\x04\x72\x72\x32\x93\x8a\x12\x8b\x32\x53\x8b\x15\x32\x2a" (* ...rr2....2S..2. *)

Repository has an OPAM package, so:
$ opam pin add hxd https://github.com/dinosaure/hxd.git
is enough to get this fabulous binary.
