## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

hexd is a small C hexdump tool that uses color to make byte-value patterns easier to see in terminal output.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in December 2013 and describes hexd as a colorful, human-friendly hexdump tool. Its man page, dated February 2022, documents the stable CLI shape: file or stdin input, optional plaintext or pretty output, grouping, ranges, width control, and repeated-line collapsing.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The project is packaged by Homebrew from the GitHub tag archive, and the input package metadata also records Nix and zypper package names. Its small C codebase and manpage-style interface make it a straightforward Unix package.

### Wie es verwendet wird

hexd prints a human-readable dump of files or standard input. It classifies byte ranges with terminal colors, honors an HEXD_COLORS environment variable for SGR formatting, and includes range selection examples for inspecting embedded file regions or comparing binary headers.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

hexd is the kind of tiny single-purpose CLI package that package managers collect well: it does not replace hexdump, od, or xxd, but offers a visual inspection trick that is useful enough to ship as a separate executable.

### Zeitleiste

- 2013: GitHub repository created.
- 2022: man page documents hexd's colorized dump interface and HEXD_COLORS environment variable.
- 2026: Homebrew formula packages the v1.1.0 GitHub tag archive.

### Related projects

- The man page lists hexdump, od, and xxd as related tools. The README also points to pixd, by the same author, as a related visualization tool for binary data.
