;;; Commentary:

;; This package implements a major mode for editing binary files.  It uses
;; a program called hexl, supplied with the GNU Emacs distribution, that
;; can filter a binary into an editable format or from the format back into
;; binary.  For full instructions, invoke `hexl-mode' on an empty buffer and
;; do M-x `describe-mode'.
;;
;; NOTE: Remember to change `hexl-program' or `hexl-options' if needed.
;;
;; Currently hexl only supports big endian hex output with 16 bit
;; grouping.
;;
;; -iso in `hexl-options' will allow iso characters to display in the
;; ASCII region of the screen (if your Emacs supports this) instead of
;; changing them to dots.

;;; Code:

(require 'eldoc)
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl-lib))

;;
;; vars here

(defun hexl-mode (&optional arg)
  "\\<hexl-mode-map>A mode for editing binary files in hex dump format.
This is not an ordinary major mode; it alters some aspects
of the current mode's behavior, but not all; also, you can exit
Hexl mode and return to the previous mode using `hexl-mode-exit'.

This function automatically converts a buffer into the hexl format
using the function `hexlify-buffer'.

Each line in the buffer has an \"address\" (displayed in hexadecimal)
representing the offset into the file that the characters on this line
are at and 16 characters from the file (displayed as hexadecimal
values grouped every `hexl-bits' bits, and as their ASCII values).

If any of the characters (displayed as ASCII characters) are
unprintable (control or meta characters) they will be replaced by
periods.

If `hexl-mode' is invoked with an argument the buffer is assumed to be
in hexl format.

A sample format:

Movement is as simple as movement in a normal Emacs text buffer.
Most cursor movement bindings are the same: use \\[hexl-backward-char], \\[hexl-forward-char], \\[hexl-next-line], and \\[hexl-previous-line]
to move the cursor left, right, down, and up.

Advanced cursor movement commands (ala \\[hexl-beginning-of-line], \\[hexl-end-of-line], \\[hexl-beginning-of-buffer], and \\[hexl-end-of-buffer]) are
also supported.

There are several ways to change text in hexl mode:

Self-inserting characters are bound to `hexl-self-insert' so you
can simply type the character and it will insert itself (actually
overstrike) into the buffer.  However, inserting non-ASCII characters
requires caution: the buffer's coding-system should correspond to
the encoding on disk, and multibyte characters should be inserted
with cursor on the first byte of a multibyte sequence whose length
is identical to the length of the multibyte sequence to be inserted,
otherwise this could produce invalid multibyte sequences.  Non-ASCII
characters in ISO-2022 encodings should preferably inserted byte by
byte, to avoid problems caused by the designation sequences before
the actual characters.

\\[hexl-quoted-insert] followed by another keystroke allows you to insert the key even if
it isn't bound to self-insert.  An octal number can be supplied in place
of another key to insert the octal number's ASCII representation.

\\[hexl-insert-hex-char] will insert a given hexadecimal value
into the buffer at the current address.

\\[hexl-insert-octal-char] will insert a given octal value
into the buffer at the current address.

\\[hexl-insert-decimal-char] will insert a given decimal value
into the buffer at the current address..

\\[hexl-mode-exit] will exit `hexl-mode'.

Note: saving the file with any of the usual Emacs commands
will actually convert it back to binary format while saving.

You can use \\[hexl-find-file] to visit a file in Hexl mode.

\\[describe-bindings] for advanced commands."
