XXD

its used for converting binary data into a hex representation and vice versa. The xxd tool is primarily used for examining binary files, creating binary patches, and manipulating binary data.

Basic Usage

Hexadecimal to binary conversion:

xxd -r hexdump.txt binary_output.bin

Binary to hexadecimal conversion:

xxd binary_input.bin hexdump.txt

Specifying input and output formats:

xxd -g 4 binary_input.bin hexdump.txt

Skipping a specific number of bytes:

xxd -s 16 binary_input.bin hexdump.txt

Limiting the number of bytes to display:

xxd -l 64 binary_input.bin hexdump.txt

XXD provides several other options for controlling the format and output, such as:

  • -c (or --cols) to specify the number of bytes per line

  • -e (or --endian) to set the endianness

  • -v (or --version) to display the version information
