NAME

dhex_markers — marker file for dhex

DESCRIPTION

Bookmarks for dhex(1) are stored in marker files. This manpage describes the format of those marker files.

EXAMPLE

A typical marker file looks like this:
‘#DHEX MARKERS’
‘#VERSION 0’
‘#lines are all in hex’
‘#relative positions are =, +, -’
‘=0000000000000000’
‘=0000000000001000’
‘=0000000000002000’
‘+0000000000001000’
‘+0000000000002000’
‘-0000000000001000’
‘-0000000000002000’
‘=00000005334ffeba’
‘=00000000DEADBEEF’
‘+000000000000BABE’

OPTIONS

In the example above, the file has two sections: A comment section, and a bookmark section.

Comments

Comments are indicated with a '#' character. Everything afterwards in a line is being ignored when parsing the file

Bookmark section

Bookmarks can be either absolute or relative. Lines with absolute bookmarks are starting with '=', the relative ones with '+' or '-'. The value is a 64 bit hexadecimal one.

There should always be 10 bookmarks per file.
