Binary Grep Tool (exploration)
At times I have found a need to have a grep tool that can natively
process binary data, while still searching for desired patterns (literal
or Regular Expressions).
With various communications projects (zeotools) and older class projects (UNIX Data Recovery), there were also formats of data I wanted to be able to have picked out and displayed in hexadecimal to the screen.
This tool is an older attempt to explore the implementation of such a tool. The integration of the Regular Expression processing currently has it broken.
It also served as an opportunity to explore the creation and authoring of UNIX manual pages. The tool has an expansive manual page, even if the code does not currently support all the desired options.
