Short: An NCurses based HEX Editor Author: Alex Sisson (alexs@cyberspace.org), AmigaOS 4.0 compile by Spot / Up Rough Uploader: "Spot / Up Rough" Type: util/misc Version: 1.13 Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0 SHED (Simple Hex EDitor) v1.13 Shed is a program for viewing and editing non-text files. The look and feel is designed to be similar to that of pico's. LICENSE Shed is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). See COPYING for more information. USAGE **************************************************** BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST!!!. NB: Notice there is no save key. This is because the file is not loaded into memory, so when you edit it, the change is made directly to disk. **************************************************** Type shed and a filename. If you're editing a file it must be an existing file. If no filename is given, or it is '-', then shed displays stdin. The man page has information on command line options. Each line of the shed display represents one byte of the file. Each lines consists of the offset of that byte from the start of the file, the ascii value of the byte, and then the bytes value in various bases. All values are unsigned. Keys: arrow keys - move cursor around pgup/^Y - cursor up 16 pgdown/^V - cursor down 16 home/^A - start of line end/^E - end of line space/e - edit value of current byte. You are asked to enter the new value in the format of the current column the cursor is in - eg. if you are in the hex column, it will ask for the new value in hex. x - exit s, w, f, F3 - search. search string is asked for in the format of the current cursor column. In ascii, just enter the string in ascii. In the others, enter the values seperated by spaces - eg to search for ABC from the decimal column you would enter "65 66 67" (without the quotes). r,n - repeat previous search b - toggle binary mode column behaviour (bit edit mode vs traditional) d - dump to file. j - jump to byte. enter a byte number, or 'top' or 'end'. t - toggle whether offset numbers and cursor position etc are in dec or hex. a - change the mode of the ascii column (printable only, c-style extended chars, 'man ascii' descriptions) p - turn on experimental 'preview' mode. When a command (except search) asks you for input, entering a zero-length string will cancel the command, as will ^C. When searching, entering a zero-length string will use the previous search word, if one exists. NOTES shed can be used directly on devices (/dev/*) but it can not obtain the length so you can overrun the length of the device.
