| This directory contains these utilities: |
| - hxascdmp: takes a binary stream and converts it to hexadecimal ASCII |
| which is sent to stdout. The incoming binary stream can either be |
| from a file or, in the absence of a file name, from stdin. Similar to |
| the Unix "od" command. By default, it decodes 16 bytes per line with |
| an ASCII interpretation to the right of each line. See its |
| hxascdmp(1) man page. |
| - sg_chk_asc and tst_sg_lib: are no longer here, they have been moved |
| to the 'testing' directory (a sibling of this directory). |
| |
| |
| By default, the Makefile only builds the hxascdmp utility. The 'Makefile' |
| file (i.e. with no suffix) builds for Linux; the 'Makefile.freebsd' file |
| builds for FreeBSD (e.g. 'make -f Makefile.freebsd'); the |
| 'Makefile.solaris' file builds for Solaris; the 'Makefile.mingw' builds |
| in the Windows MinGW environment (e.g. msys shell); and 'Makefile.cygwin' |
| builds in the Windows Cygwin environment. |
