Rex - Lean hex editor written in Rust
Rex is a small and lean terminal hex editor that is in an extremly alpha stage.
Motivation
Most simple open source hex editor make certain operations too painful. From inserting/deleting in the middle of a file to easily selecting and copy/pasting, aims to make it simple and easy to use.
Status
Currently Rex is in an extrmely alpha stage, and while quite functional, should not be used without backups. Future goals for Rex include:
- Better support for huge files (mmap based)
- Support a simple QML/Gtk GUI
- Basic struct/marking support
Using
To be able to compile Rex, make sure you have a recent version of Rust installed (stable release channel should suffice). To compile the latest binary:
git clone git@github.com:dbrodie/rex.git
cd rex
cargo build --release
./target/release/rex --help
