# grep_bin
`grep_bin` can search recursively a directory or multiple files for a sequence of bytes or ascii string.

## Usage
### Searching for a byte sequence in a file
`$ grep_bin test.bin fffe`

### Searching recursively a directory for a byte sequence
`$ grep_bin ~/Downloads FFFE`

### Filtering the filetypes
`$ grep_bin ~/Downloads FFfe0000 -f mp3 `

### Search for a ASCII string inside the binary
`$ grep_bin test.bin "Hello World"`

### Search a byte sequence in multiple files
`$ grep_bin test1.bin test2.bin fFFe`

### Specify the number of bytes per line in the output
`$ grep_bin README.md "information" -c 32`

Output:
<pre>
README.md

            Prints version information


OPTIONS:
    -c <context_bytes_size>        
            Defines the number of bytes that will be printed in each line. [default: 16]

    -f <filetype>...               
            Filter the search by the file extensions.
            Examples of input: jpg, mp3, exe

ARGS:
    <FILE>...    
            The file path

    <PATTERN>    
            Can be a ascii string or a byte sequence.
            Ascii strings should be passed inside quotes like so "This is a string"
            All of these byte sequence are valid: f9b4ca, F9B4CA and f9B4Ca
```
