Hex dump

From Rosetta Code
Hex dump is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

A hex dump is a textual representation of bytes in a file, and hexdump is a command-line tool that can dump bytes from a file in a variety of formats, including hexadecimal, octal and ASCII.

hexdump's canonical format displays, on each line:

  • a byte offset in hexadecimal,
  • up to 16 bytes in hexadecimal, separated by spaces, with an extra space between the 8th and 9th byte,
  • the same 16 bytes interpreted as ASCII characters, with non-printing and non-ascii characters replaced with a dot (.), surrounded by pipes (|).

The last line of output shows a final byte count, also in hexadecimal.

For example, the string "Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site 😀." encoded in UTF-16 (little-endian - the first two bytes are the byte order mark), displayed in the canonical format is: 

00000000  ff fe 52 00 6f 00 73 00  65 00 74 00 74 00 61 00  |..R.o.s.e.t.t.a.|

Task

Implement a hexdump-like program that:

  • outputs in the canonical format,
  • takes an optional offset in bytes from which to start,
  • takes an optional length in bytes after which it will stop.

Demonstrate your implementation by showing the canonical hex dump of the example above, plus any other examples you find useful.

Stretch

xxd is another command-line tool similar to hexdump. It offers a binary mode where bytes are displayed in bits instead of hexadecimal.

Implement a binary mode. For this task, in binary mode, the example above should be displayed like this:

J

J's hfd (hex from decimal) is useful here, but it's not what the task asked for. We need to ensure a leading zero (achievable by adding 256 to the byte numbers, then dropping the resulting leading column of 1s), and then we need to massage the result to add spaces which fit the desired pattern.

The ascii section requires similar massaging, and some decorating.

The binary stretch goal could be approached similarly, but it's more concise to convert to 8 bit binary before massaging. 

hexdump=: {{
  assert. 'literal'-:datatype y
  h=. '',~_2;\_8<@(' '(,,)])\' ',. 0 1}.hfd 256+a.i.y
  a=. '',~_16('  |','|',~])\(y e.32}.127{.a.)}'.',:y
  i=. 0 1}.hfd(2^32)+16*i.#h
  i,.h,.a
}}

bindump=: {{
  assert. 'literal'-:datatype y
  b=. '',~_6(' ',,)\' ',.,/"2":"0(8#2)#:256+a.i.y
  a=. '',~_6('  |','|',~])\(y e.32}.127{.a.)}'.',:y
  i=. 0 1}.hfd(2^32)+6*i.#b
  i,.b,.a
}}

J doesn't support a "little endian utf-16 literal" datatype, so we need to do a bit of work to create the required value.

Although not shown, the intention is the outer calling code (last four lines) could call hexdump() to display one page at a time, with appropriate user input, and/or read s in chunks and pass a file offset instead of or as well as start, finish.

The hexdump() routine expects a Blob. How you feed it the Blob is up to you. You may read a file in binary mode, encode a string, whatever. Using encoded strings here for a compact, self-contained example. Encoded in a few different ways for variety. 

say my $string = 'Rosettacode is a programming crestomathy site 😀.    🍨 👨‍👩‍👦 ⚽ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯';

say "\nHex dump UTF-16BE, offset 0";
hexdump $string.encode("UTF-16BE");

say "\nHex dump UTF-16LE, offset 0";
hexdump $string.encode("UTF-16LE");

say "\nBinary dump UTF-8, offset 17";
hexdump $string.encode("UTF-8"), :bin, :17offset;

sub hexdump(Blob $blob, Int :$offset is copy = 0, :$bin = False) {
    my ($fmt, $space, $batch) = $bin ?? ("%08b", ' ' x 8, 6) !! ("%02X", '  ', 16);
    for $blob.skip($offset).batch($batch) {
        my @h = flat $_».fmt($fmt), $space xx $batch;
        @h[7] ~= ' ';
        printf "%08X  %s  |%s|\n", $offset, @h[^$batch].Str,
           $_».chr.join.subst(/<-print>|\t|\n/, '.', :g);
        $offset += $batch;
    }
}
Output:
Rosettacode is a programming crestomathy site 😀.    🍨 👨‍👩‍👦 ⚽ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
