Hexedit shows a file both in ASCII and in hexadecimal. The file can be a device as the file is not whole read. You can modify the file and search through it. I put hexedit in app-editors. It depends on ncurses. I am attaching the ebuild and the digest file, I am not sure if the digest is necessary, as this is my first submission. Marc
Created attachment 177 [details] hexedit-1.2.2.ebuild
Added to portage tree, thanks. p.s. Next time please also submit a Changelog entry.
