xxd

This is a build2 package for the Vim xxd executable. It creates a hexdump of a given file or standard input. It can also convert a hexdump back to its original binary form. One notable xxd mode is -i|--include, which generates a C array definition of the input that can be used to embed binary data into C/C++ programs. This functionality is the primary reason for the use of this package.

Note that the xxd executable in this page provides build2 metadata.
