`hexyl` is a simple hex viewer for the terminal. It uses a colored output to distinguish different categories
of bytes (NULL bytes, printable ASCII characters, ASCII whitespace characters, other ASCII characters and non-ASCII).
## Preview

```
If you use an older version of Ubuntu, you can download
the latest `.deb` package from the release page and install it via:
``` bash
sudo dpkg -i hexyl_0.7.0_amd64.deb # adapt version number and architecture
```
