hex
===
'hex' is yet another hex viewer. As of now, there are no advantages to it.
Plans
-----
In the future, it should be able to automatically interpret fields within files
using a set of Lua scripts.
Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
list of repositories and their respective links at:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git
Building and Running
--------------------
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, liberty (included),
termo (included) +
Runtime dependencies: ncursesw, libunistring
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/hex.git
$ mkdir hex/build
$ cd hex/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
# make install
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i hex-*.deb
Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix `cpack` with
`fakeroot` or file ownership will end up wrong.
Having the program installed, optionally create a configuration file and run it.
Configuration
-------------
Create _~/.config/hex/hex.conf_ with contents like the following:
....
colors = {
footer = ""
highlight = "bold"
bar = "reverse"
bar_active = "ul"
even = ""
odd = ""
selection = "reverse"
}
....
Terminal caveats
----------------
Terminals are somewhat tricky to get consistent results on, so be aware of the
following:
- Xterm needs `XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true` for the default bindings to work
- urxvt's 'vtwheel' plugin sabotages scrolling
