HEX Reader

A cli (Command line interface) application to read the content of a file or just a simple string value from input.

It also works in linux pipe line to get the input from stdin and puts the output into stdout.

Installation

It can be installed locally, but global installation is recommended because makes it available everywhere.

npm install -g hex-reader

You can use hex-reader in three possible ways.

1. Read the content of a file by passing a valid the file path to it

hex-reader /var/log.txt

2. Read a simple string

hex-reader "this is a simple string"

Note: If you pass an invalid file path or the application couldn’t be able to read it, it just reads the file path as a simple string.

3. Read a content from pipe line

cat /var/log.txt | hex-reader
