lfhex is an application for viewing and editing files in hex, octal, binary, or ascii text. Large File HexEditor's main strength is it's ability to work with files much larger than system memory (or address space for that matter!).
Here are some key features of "Large File HexEditor":
Low memory usage
Instant load times
Instant save times
Infinite undo/redo
Dynamic hex/octal/binary/ascii editing mode
Search
"Goto" field for jumping to a specified offset (offset can be specified by a mathematical expression: 0xff*3
64 bit offset support
Dynamic resize support
Conversion dialog
Linked to selection
Shows conversion to int, float, double, ascii, hex
Modifying int/float/double/ascii/hex updates all the other fields
Option to show/edit byteswapped values
Binary comparison dialog
differences can be walked by "block"
a block can be from 1-16 bytes long
starting offset can be different in each file
Minimal dependencies (just Qt)
Requirements:
You must have Qt 3.x or latter to compile/link lfhex.
You must have a compiler which is sane when using templates.
You must have flex and bison
Limitations:
Does not support insertion/deletion (cannot change file size)
Search/compare can be slow (compared to cmp or any other non-paged IO app)
Cannot search files with unsaved modifications
Installation:
gunzip -c lfhex-x.x.tar.gz | tar xvf -
% cd lfhex-x.x
% ./configure
% make
% su
% make install
What's New in This Release:
The code was ported to Qt 4.x.
The conversion dialog was changed to a docked assistant.
