  "github_readme_excerpt": "**hexd** prints a human-readable hexdump of the specified files, or standard\ninput if omitted.  Its main distinguishing feature is the use of colours to\nvisually indicate which range of values an octet belongs to, aiding in\nspotting patterns in binary data.\n\nBy default, *hexd* relies on 256-color SGR escape sequences.  Most terminal\nemulators should support these today, but technically they\u0027re only defacto\nstandard.  However, you can override the formatting used with the\n`HEXD_COLORS` environment variable (see manpage), or use the `-p` option for\nplaintext output.\n\n## Screenshot\n![Screenshot](meta/screenshot.png \"Output after being run on an ELF binary\")\n\n## License\nMIT license.\n\n## See also\n* [pixd](http://github.com/FireyFly/pixd):\n  like *hexd*, but visualizes the data fed to it using a 256-colour palette\n  and half-block (\"\u2580\") characters.\n",
