# HastyHex : a faster hex dumper

HastyHex is a ***blazing fast*** hex dump utility with optional ANSI

color output. It performs about *one to two orders of magnitude* faster

than your typical implementation of `hexdump` or `od`. It's is written

in plain old ANSI C, so you can run it literally anywhere.

## Usage

HastyHex produces color output by default regardless of what's connected

to the output. The `-p` option turns off color.

    usage: hastyhex [-fhlp] [-o FILE]

      -h       print this help message

      -l       force output line-buffered

      -f       force output fully-buffered

      -o FILE  output to file instead of standard output

      -p       do not output color ("plain")

The `less` pager has a `-R` argument that understands ANSI color escape

sequences, making it a great candidate for accepting output from

HastyHex.

    $ hastyhex data.bin | less -FRX

The `-f` option increases the output buffer size which typically

improves performance. Since MSVC doesn't support line-buffering, `-l`

will be equivalent to `-f` on Windows.
