Hexedit is a Curses based Hex editor. Unlike a text editor, which
|
|
is used for editing text documents in the desired language, hexedit
|
|
lets you edit any file as it's byte(1) for byte representation. It can
|
|
even let you view and edit your fixed disks on your Linux system. This
|
|
is not ideal for writing a letter or writing c code, but there are my
|
|
times when this is ideal:
|
|
|
|
* Editing binary executables.
|
|
|
|
* Editing your fixed disks (i.e. /dev/xyz)
|
|
|
|
* Checking the output of a Program's binary data file.
|
|
|
|
* Any place you might use od(1) but need more power. Compare more
|
|
vs less.
