My learn-by-doing attempt to get into Zig by creating a hexdump utility.;

STD library only.

Many thanks to ziglings project.

Milestones:

- [] Implement basic functions;

  - [x] Basic hexdump formatter;

  - [x] Read command line params;

  - [x] Handle errors when suppiled params are missing/broken;

  - [x] Read data directly from stdin;

    - if there is a valid filename a file will be read;

    - if there is none and there is a data piped the data will be read;

    - otherwise program will be stuck vaiting for an input;

- [] Going deeper;

  - [] Learn zig build system;

    - [] Note: for now this seems pretty straingtforward so I will try to move some function to external zig file and then import it back to the original code (Most likely I will try to implement my own args reading and parsing module);

  - [] Coloured output;

- [] Final steps;

  - [] Support for both -p val amd -p=val command line param formats;

  - [] Code revision, maybe I will know how to redo already implemented stuff in a better way by that moment;

    - [] Add comptime where it is possible;
