.SH NAME
|
|
ascii \- An ASCII table viewer
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B ascii
|
|
[
|
|
.I N1 N2...
|
|
]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This will display an interactive ASCII table, with the byte numbers and
|
|
descriptions. You can also build up raw ASCII output, which will be printed to
|
|
stdout when the program closes.
|
|
.SH INPUT
|
|
.TP
|
|
If any input is piped to \fBascii\fR, it will appear in the output buffer.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.B \--help
|
|
Print the command line usage.
|
|
|
|
.B N...
|
|
If decimal or hex numbers are passed as extra arguments, the corresponding raw
|
|
ASCII values will be appended to the output buffer after any piped input.
|
|
|
|
.SH CONTROLS
|
|
.B Navigating:
|
|
In the ASCII table, arrow keys or h/j/k/l can be used to navigate.
|
|
|
|
.B Editing:
|
|
You can use 'enter' to append the selected character to the output buffer and
|
|
\'backspace' to delete from the output buffer. Or, for more rapid input, press
|
|
\'i' to enter insert mode, where you can type freely, and 'escape' when you're
|
|
done.
|
|
|
|
.B Exiting:
|
|
\'q' or 'escape' will quit and print the output buffer. Control-c can be used
|
|
to quit without printing the output buffer.
|
|
|
