tess-cli 0.30.0

A less-style terminal pager for files, pipes, and live logs โ€” with structured-log filtering, pretty-printing (JSON/YAML/TOML/XML/HTML/CSV), ANSI passthrough, multi-file navigation, and ctags jumping. Rust, macOS + Linux.

//! xxd-style hex dump rendering. One row = 16 bytes, with offset prefix
//! and ASCII gutter.

/// Format one row of a hex dump.
///
/// Layout: `<8-hex-digit offset>: <hex bytes grouped by `bytes_per_group`> <16-char ASCII gutter>`.
/// `bytes_per_group` must be one of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 โ€” corresponding to 2, 4, 8,
/// 16, or 32 hex characters per group (16 = the whole row as a single group,
/// no spacing between hex pairs).
///
/// When `bytes.len() < 16`, the hex portion is right-padded with spaces so
/// the ASCII gutter remains column-aligned with full rows.
///
/// Offsets larger than 0xFFFFFFFF still render with at least 8 hex digits
/// (the format width is a minimum, not a max).
///
/// Non-printable bytes (outside 0x20..=0x7E) render as `.` in the ASCII gutter.
