## Cheat Sheet
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
> characters and non-ASCII).
|
|
|
|
`hexyl` is pretty self-explanatory.
|
|
|
|
If you know that you need a _hex viewer_, then you probably already know enough
|
|
to see why this is particularly useful, and can figure out how to use it.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "hello" > foo.bin
|
|
hexyl foo.bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For options, such as `--length`, `--skip`, and `--offset`, see:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hexyl --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Convert hex to binary
|
|
|
|
If you have some hex (say from some server logs) that you'd like to encode back
|
|
to binary to view in hexyl, you can convert it with `xxd`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo '48656c6c6f210a' > foo.hex
|
|
xxd -r -p foo.hex foo.bin
|
|
```
