Escape ASCII
An extremely tiny tool to convert stdin raw byte stream to printable escaped-ascii form, such as byte literals in source codes on many programming languages (e.g. "\x1b\x04printable\x16\n"
).
This tool just help calling the rust function slice::escape_ascii directly from command line.
For more information about how this tool converts, check the rust official documentations of std::ascii::escape_default.
Install
$ cargo install escape-ascii
Example
- Get random 10 bytes and convert to escaped-ascii form
$ BYTES="$(cat /dev/urandom | head -c10)"
$ printf "%s" "$BYTES"; echo
��f�YڵH
$ printf "%s" "$BYTES" | escape-ascii; echo
\x8a\x8bf\xa1\x8f\x08Y\xda\xb5H
