\fBsyd\-hex\fR \- Hex\-encode/decode the given file or standard input
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBsyd\-hex\fR \fI[\-hdeflsC]\fR \fI<file|\->\fR
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Given a file, hex\-encode the file and print.\&
.PP
Given no positional arguments or "\-" as argument, hex\-encode standard input and print.\&
.PP
Use \fB\-d\fR to hex\-decode rather than encode.\&
.PP
Use \fB\-s\fR with \fB\-d\fR to hex\-decode data with newline\-delimited chunks.\&
.PP
Use \fB\-C\fR with \fB\-s\fR to warn and continue in case of read or encoding errors.\&
.PP
Use \fB\-f\fR to force print decoded hex to TTY (insecure).\& By default,
decoded hex output is \fInot\fR written to standard output if it'\&s attached
to a TTY.\&
.PP
Use \fB\-l\fR <human\-size> to exit after size bytes are read.\&
.PP
Use \fB\-l\fR <line\-count> with \fB\-s\fR to exit after count lines are read.\&
