# xdump
The **xdump** utility is a filter which displays the specified file, or standard input if no file is specified, in hexadecimal and ASCII format. It uses a colored output to distinguish different categories of bytes.
The categories of bytes are:
+ NULL bytes
+ printable ASCII characters
+ ASCII whitespace characters
+ other ASCII characters
+ non-ASCII
The colors can be changed with the `XDUMP_COLORS` environment variable. Its value is a semicolon-separated list that defaults to `off=7;bar=7;nul=238;print=7;space=227;ascii=111;nonascii=204`. The color must be a valid [8-bit color](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#8-bit) code.
When the [`NO_COLOR` environment variable](https://no-color.org) is present or when the standard output isn't connected to a terminal, the colored output is disabled.
