## Installation
`cargo install bred`
## Usage
```
Usage: bred [OPTIONS] [FILE]
Arguments:
[FILE] The file to read or stdin if not provided
Options:
-l, --length <CHARACTERS> Number of characters to print [default for hex: 8] [default: 64]
-c, --chunk <BYTES> Chunk size (faster but more memory usage) [default: 4096]
-x, --hex Print in hex
-G, --color Print in color
-s, --space Explicitly display space as placeholder: (_)
-b, --binary Print in binary
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
```
To use, input a file (or `stdin` is used), and add any desired options.
<br>_____
<br>The `--length` option changes how many characters to print (not including any formatting like offsets and borders).
<br>The `--chunk` option changes how large the buffer array should be; the bigger it is, the faster but uses more memory.
<br>The `--hex` option simply prints the input in hexadecimal.
<br>The `--color` option uses colors to differentiate between letters (`\0` are gray, others indicate how large the character code is, and orange is non-ascii characters). Note, make sure you use a terminal emulator that supports <ins>ANSI 256-color mode</ins>.
<br>The `--space` option replaces all the spaces (`0x20`) with a green-colored `_`. This also affects the hex output.
<br>The `--binary` option prints the input in binary
