Print hex output format, supported optional arguments:
-
offsets: on/off, default=on, print the distance of the first byte of each line in hex notation on the left
hexdmp(test_data, offsets='off')
-
showascii: on/off, default=on, print the ASCII characters of each byte on the right (print periods for hi/lo bytes)
hexdmp(test_data, showascii='off')
-
start: int, manually set offsets start value
hexdmp(test_data, start=2)
-
width: positive int, default=16, let the user set the number of bytes per line to print
hexdmp(test_data, width=8)
-
Usage:
>>> from pyhexdmp import hexdmp
>>> with open('/home/paul/sample.exe', 'rb') as f:
... raw = f.read()
...
>>> test_data = raw[:128]
>>> hexdmp(test_data)
