Features

  • A new --skip <N> / -s <N> option can be used to skip the first N bytes of the input, see #16, #88 (@Tarnadas, @MaxJohansen, @ErichDonGubler)
  • The --length/--bytes/--skip/--display-offset options can now take units for their value argument, for example:
    hexyl /dev/random --length=1KiB
    hexyl $(which hexyl) --skip=1MiB --length=10KiB
    Both decimal SI prefixes (kB, MB, …) as well as binary IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, …) are supported.
    In addition, there is a new --block-size <SIZE> option that can be used to control the size of the block unit:
    hexyl /dev/random --block-size=4kB --length=2block
    See: #44 (@ErichDonGubler and @aswild)
