Rex - Lean hex editor written in Rust
Rex is a small and lean terminal hex editor that is in an extremely alpha stage.
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.
Currently Rex is in an extremely 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
To be able to compile Rex, make sure you have the latest version of Rust installed (stable release channel should suffice). To compile the latest binary:
git clone [email protected]:dbrodie/rex.git
cd rex
cargo build --release
./target/release/trex --help
