NAME

HexDump::Tiny - Generate hexadecimal dump

SYNOPSIS

use HexDump::Tiny;

.say for hexdump(slurp("filename"));

DESCRIPTION

HexDump::Tiny is module that exports a single subroutine hexdump, and installs a command-line interface to that called hd.

SUBROUTINES

hexdump

.say for hexdump($blob);                         # entire blob

.say for hexdump($blob, :skip(96));              # bytes after first 96 bytes

.say for hexdump($blob, :head(96));              # first 96 bytes

.say for hexdump($blob, :skip(96), :head(256));  # after 96 bytes for 256 bytes

The hexdump subroutine takes a value of which to create a hexadecimal dump (either as a Blob or Buf, or as a Seq or as anything else that can be coerced to a Str).

It returns a Seq of hexdump lines. It takes the following optional named arguments:

skip

The named argument :skip specifies the number of bytes to skip before starting to generate the hexdump. The default is 0.

head

The named argument :head specifies the number of bytes to create a hexdump for. The default is all remaining bytes after bytes skipped.

chunk-size

The named argument :chunk-size specifies the number of bytes per line of hexdump. The default is 16.

COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE

This module also installs a hd command-line interface that allows one to do a hexdump of a file, or the parameters on the command line, or from STDIN (if no parameters are specified.

It also accepts the same named arguments as the hexdump subroutine does.
