require 'hex'.setup()
require 'hex'.dump() -- switch to hex view
require 'hex'.assemble() -- go back to normal view
require 'hex'.toggle() -- switch back and forth
or their vim cmds
:HexDump
:HexAssemble
:HexToggle
any file opens in hex view if opened with -b
:
nvim -b file
nvim -b file1 file2
-- defaults
require 'hex'.setup {
-- cli command used to dump hex data
dump_cmd = 'xxd -g 1 -u',
-- cli command used to assemble from hex data
assemble_cmd = 'xxd -r',
-- function that runs on BufReadPre to determine if it's binary or not
is_file_binary_pre_read = function()
-- logic that determines if a buffer contains binary data or not
-- must return a bool
end,
-- function that runs on BufReadPost to determine if it's binary or not
is_file_binary_post_read = function()
-- logic that determines if a buffer contains binary data or not
-- must return a bool
end,
