syd-hex - Hex-encode/decode the given file or standard input
syd-hex [-hdeflsC] <file|->
Given a file, hex-encode the file and print.
Given no positional arguments or "-" as argument, hex-encode standard input and print.
Use -d to hex-decode rather than encode.
Use -s with -d to hex-decode data with newline-delimited chunks.
Use -C with -s to warn and continue in case of read or encoding errors.
Use -f to force print decoded hex to TTY (insecure). By default, decoded hex output is not written to standard output if it's attached to a TTY.
Use -l <human-size> to exit after size bytes are read.
Use -l <line-count> with -s to exit after count lines are read.
