[edit] Advanced features
- Partially open files
- Search for any combination of text and binary data using escape sequences, e.g. <bh:00>txt<wd:1000> searches for a byte with hexadecimal value 0 followed by the text string "txt" followed by a word with decimal value 1000
- Apply binary templates for structured information
- describe data in a C-struct-like syntax, then read out the correct data values from the raw binary
- e.g. the template "CHAR c; INT x;" reads and prints a character followed by a 32-bit integer from the current cursor position
- Hard disk sector access; however, this feature is currently read-only
- Apply cryptographic algorithms to data
