Thank you. I will look into formally adding it to the ports tree
based on community interest.

Hi,
First of all. Thanks for sharing. If you want to add this program to
the FreeBSD ports, I made the diff for you, so you can be the
maintainer.

hexpeek: a hex editor for huge files
Occasionally I need to work with huge binary files. Over the years
I've
tried many different tools and never found one that was exactly what I
wanted. In my experience most hex editors either (1) do not work well
with 4GB+ files or (2) require the user to learn a curses interface
and
are not scriptable.
So I ended up creating a hex editor with some nice features:
1. prompt interface with command history (with libedit)
2. scriptable interface with a flexible command language
3. no glitches on huge files -- no reading until user requests
4. fully functional insert and delete
5. multi-level backup and restore
6. ability to dump generic file descriptors
7. work in hexadecimal and with 64 bit file offsets by default
8. BSD 3-clause license
9. and more...
If interested, please check out the project at https://www.hexpeek.com
or send e-mail to hexp...@hexpeek.com.
hexpeek is known to work on Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, and Cygwin and is
expected to work on any recent POSIX-like system. I look forward to
improving hexpeek based on community feedback. Please let me know what
features you are looking for in a hex/metadata editor.
