| 5 NAME | |
| 6 xxd - make a hexdump or do the reverse. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 xxd -h[elp] | |
| 10 xxd [options] [infile [outfile]] | |
| 11 xxd -r[evert] [options] [infile [outfile]] | |
| 12 | |
| 13 DESCRIPTION | |
| 36 | 14 xxd creates a hex dump of a given file or standard input. It can also |
| 15 convert a hex dump back to its original binary form. Like uuencode(1) | |
| 16 and uudecode(1) it allows the transmission of binary data in a `mail- | |
| 6918 | 17 safe' ASCII representation, but has the advantage of decoding to stan‐ |
| 36 | 18 dard output. Moreover, it can be used to perform binary file patching. |
| 7 | 19 |
| 20 OPTIONS | |
| 6918 | 21 If no infile is given, standard input is read. If infile is specified |
| 22 as a `-' character, then input is taken from standard input. If no | |
| 36 | 23 outfile is given (or a `-' character is in its place), results are sent |
| 24 to standard output. | |
| 7 | 25 |
| 6918 | 26 Note that a "lazy" parser is used which does not check for more than |
| 27 the first option letter, unless the option is followed by a parameter. | |
| 28 Spaces between a single option letter and its parameter are optional. | |
| 36 | 29 Parameters to options can be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal |
| 30 notation. Thus -c8, -c 8, -c 010 and -cols 8 are all equivalent. | |

33 Toggle autoskip: A single '*' replaces nul-lines. Default off. |
| 7 | 34 |
| 35 -b | -bits | |
| 36 | 36 Switch to bits (binary digits) dump, rather than hexdump. This |
| 37 option writes octets as eight digits "1"s and "0"s instead of a | |
| 38 normal hexadecimal dump. Each line is preceded by a line number | |
| 6918 | 39 in hexadecimal and followed by an ascii (or ebcdic) representa‐ |
