'hex' is yet another hex viewer. It automatically interprets fields within
|
|
|
|
|
files using a set of Lua scripts, colorizing them and showing descriptions on
|
|
|
|
|
the side.

At the moment the project is still in a very early stage.

Packages
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
|
|
|
|
|
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
|
|
|
|
|
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
|
|
|
|
|
list of repositories and their respective links at:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git

Building and Running
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, liberty (included),
|
|
|
|
|
termo (included) +
|
2017-01-17 14:46:14 +01:00
|
|
|
Runtime dependencies: ncursesw, libunistring, Lua >= 5.3 (for highlighting)
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/hex.git
|
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir hex/build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd hex/build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ cpack -G DEB
|
|
|
|
|
# dpkg -i hex-*.deb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix `cpack` with
|
|
|
|
|
`fakeroot` or file ownership will end up wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Having the program installed, optionally create a configuration file and run it
|
|
|
|
|
on a file of your choice.

Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|

Create _~/.config/hex/hex.conf_ with contents like the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
colors = {
|
2016-12-30 01:44:36 +01:00
|
|
|
footer = ""
|
2016-12-30 05:36:06 +01:00
|
|
|
footer_hl = "bold"
|
2016-12-27 15:26:51 +01:00
|
|
|
bar = "reverse"
|
2016-12-30 05:36:06 +01:00
|
|
|
bar_hl = "reverse bold"
|
2016-12-27 15:26:51 +01:00
|
|
|
even = ""
|
|
|
|
|
odd = ""
|
|
|
|
|
selection = "reverse"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
....

Terminal caveats
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
2016-12-30 01:44:36 +01:00
|
|
|
Terminals are somewhat tricky to get consistent results on, so be aware of the
|
|
|
|
|
following:
|
2016-12-27 15:26:51 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Xterm needs `XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true` for the default bindings to work
|
|
|
|
|
- urxvt's 'vtwheel' plugin sabotages scrolling
