The incoming binary stream can either be + from a file or, in the absence of a file name, from stdin. Similar to + the Unix "od" command. By default, it decodes 16 bytes per line with + an ASCII interpretation to the right of each line. See its + hxascdmp(1) man page. + - sg_chk_asc and tst_sg_lib: are no longer here, they have been moved + to the 'testing' directory (a sibling of this directory). + + +By default, the Makefile only builds the hxascdmp utility. The 'Makefile' +file (i.e. with no suffix) builds for Linux; the 'Makefile.freebsd' file +builds for FreeBSD (e.g. 'make -f Makefile.freebsd'); the +'Makefile.solaris' file builds for Solaris; the 'Makefile.mingw' builds +in the Windows MinGW environment (e.g. msys shell); and 'Makefile.cygwin' +builds in the Windows Cygwin environment. + +Douglas Gilbert +4th November 2017 |
