xd

A little toy written in Rust to preview a hex dump of a given file, just like xxd

Compile

First, install Rust (using the recommended rustup installation method) and then clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/Ainevsia/xd.git
$ cd xd

// build release
$ cargo build --release

If you are using Rust for the first time and the progress bar stucks at the first step like this:

    Updating crates.io index
       Fetch [==================>                                    ]  34.94%

You should change the source of the crates.io. Add these lines to $HOME/.cargo/config (if not exists, create it):

[source.crates-io]
replace-with = 'ustc'

[source.ustc]
registry = "git://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/crates.io-index"

and then run cargo build --release. The Rust compile process will take pretty much time, which involves downloading and compiling the depended packages. It took me 4m 38s to finish.

 Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 4m 38s

Colored output with length-specificed limitation.
