Usage: hexbomb [file]
A hexdump utility with style.
The --offset option specifies the byte offset at which to begin
reading. You can specify a positive or negative integer value.
A positive offset seeks forward from the beginning of the file,
a negative offset seeks backward from the end of the file.
For example, the following command will skip the first 128 bytes:
$ hexbomb <filename> --offset 128
And the following command will display only the final 128 bytes:
$ hexbomb <filename> --offset -128
Note that the --offset option cannot be used when reading from
STDIN.
Arguments:
[file] File to read. Defaults to STDIN.
Options:
-l, --line <int> Bytes per line in output (default: 16).
-n, --number <int> Number of bytes to read.
-o, --offset <int> Byte offset at which to begin reading.
Flags:
-h, --help Display this help text and exit.
-v, --version Display the version number and exit.
