Bug#340455: hexcurse: Should get block device size

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: hexcurse
Version: 1.55-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

When running hexcurse on a block device (/dev/hda1 for instance), it
only brings the first 16 bytes, while it might get the block device size
with ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE, &sectors)

Regards,
Samuel
