textproc/bbe 0.2.2_3 DragonFly

Sed-like editor for binary files

System: DragonFly
Repository: DPorts
Maintainer: [email protected] (as in FreeBSD)
License: GPLv2+
Categories: textproc
Package size: 32.8 KiB, 100.7 KiB installed

Description

Instead of reading input in lines as sed, bbe reads arbitrary blocks from an input stream and performs byte-related transformations on found blocks. Blocks can be defined using start/stop strings, stream offset and block length, or a combination. Basic editing commands include delete, replace, search/replace, binary operations (and, or, etc.), append, and bcd/ASCII conversion. For examining the input stream, it contains some grep-like features like printing the input file name, stream offset, and block number of found blocks. Block contents can also be printed in different formats like hex, octal, ASCII, and binary.
