README
1This directory contains these utilities:
2 - hxascdmp: takes a binary stream and converts it to hexadecimal ASCII
3 which is sent to stdout. The incoming binary stream can either be
4 from a file or, in the absence of a file name, from stdin. Similar to
5 the Unix "od" command. By default, it decodes 16 bytes per line with
6 an ASCII interpretation to the right of each line. See its
7 hxascdmp(1) man page.
8 - sg_chk_asc and tst_sg_lib: are no longer here, they have been moved
9 to the 'testing' directory (a sibling of this directory).

12By default, the Makefile only builds the hxascdmp utility. The 'Makefile'
13file (i.e. with no suffix) builds for Linux; the 'Makefile.freebsd' file
14builds for FreeBSD (e.g. 'make -f Makefile.freebsd'); the
15'Makefile.solaris' file builds for Solaris; the 'Makefile.mingw' builds
16in the Windows MinGW environment (e.g. msys shell); and 'Makefile.cygwin'
17builds in the Windows Cygwin environment.
