hexpeek: a hex editor for huge files
Occasionally I need to work with huge binary files. Over the years I've
tried many different tools and never found one that was exactly what I
wanted. In my experience most hex editors either (1) do not work well
with 4GB+ files or (2) require the user to learn a curses interface and
are not scriptable.
So I ended up creating a hex editor with some nice features:
1. prompt interface with command history (with libedit)
2. scriptable interface with a flexible command language
3. no glitches on huge files -- no reading until user requests
4. fully functional insert and delete
5. multi-level backup and restore
6. ability to dump generic file descriptors
7. work in hexadecimal and with 64 bit file offsets by default
8. BSD 3-clause license
9. and more...
If interested, please check out the project at https://www.hexpeek.com
or send e-mail to hexpeek at hexpeek.com.
hexpeek is known to work on Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, and Cygwin and is
expected to work on any recent POSIX-like system. I look forward to
improving hexpeek based on community feedback. Please let me know what
features you are looking for in a hex/metadata editor.
