I feel MAIN is a bit more clear a package-name, and eksd.unis follows convention a little better than eksd-unix, as a package-name.

# EKSD
|
||
|
||
[xxd](https://hg.256bit.org/vim/file/tip/src/xxd) is a very good hexdump program that makes editing files on UNIX very easy.
|
||
It also doesn't support text-tables. Which sucks.
|
||
|
||
[eksd](https://hak.xwx.moe/jadedctrl/eksd) is a clone of a good hexdump program (even matching several arguments
|
||
exactly)… except it supports text-tables.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
To see a hexdump of a file, just run:
|
||
```
|
||
$ eksd $FILE > $HEXDUMP_FILE
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you want to turn a hexdump (from eksd or xxd) back to a file:
|
||
```
|
||
$ eksd -r $HEXDUMP_FILE > $FILE
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And to make a hexdump with a custom text-table:
|
||
```
|
||
$ eksd -t $TABLE_FILE $FILE > $HEXDUMP_FILE
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Text-tables are in a simple format— one hexcode per line, followed by its
|
||
character. See [./text_tables/*](text_tables/) for examples.
|
||
|
||
By default, eksd uses a built-in *fancy* text-table— it's basic ASCII,
|
||
except it'll print nice pictographics for newline characters, etc. These
|
||
require UTF, of course. If they don't work for you, use the "-a" arg to
|
||
revert to simple, non-fancy ASCII.
|
||
Note that specifying a text-table will override "-a", though.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
Here's a part of Castlevania (EU) for the NES using its text-table:
|
||
```
|
||
$ eksd -t castle-table.txt castlevania.nes | grep -A4 "18e80"
|
||
00018e80: 5454 5454 866e 6854 6460 8486 5454 5454 ....THE.CAST....
|
||
00018e90: 5454 5454 5466 8260 6488 7660 5454 5454 .....DRACULA....
|
||

||

|
||
```
|
||
And here's that same file in [Vim’s](https://www.vim.org) xxd (just because I feel like showing off):
|
||
```
|
||
$ xxd castlevania.nes | grep -A4 "18e80"
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
Making a binary requires a Lisp (I recommend SBCL) and Quicklisp
|
||
(https://quicklisp.org).
|
||
|
||
Put this repository into your `quicklisp/local-projects/`, then run, in your
|
||
lisp interpreter:
|
||
```
|
||
# (ql:quickload '(eksd eksd.unix))
|
||
# (save-lisp-and-die "eksd" :toplevel #'eksd.unix:main :executable t)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And bam, you've made a binary. Cool.
