b2x is a cli tool and library for converting between data formats and types.

Common use-cases involve converting binary to hexadecimal or hexadecimal to utf-8.

b2x <from> <to> <input>

b2x bin <to> <input>

The conversion target to convert the binary bit string to

• dec
• f32
• f64
• hex
• ascii
• utf-8

The binary bit string to convert

For example, 1010 1001 or just 10101001

b2x bin dec <input>

Interpret input binary string as signed values.

Unsigned by default

Interpret input binary string bits as big endinan

Little endian by default

Set a fixed size of the input binary string bit groupings. The default behaviour is to use space as the value delimiter

• optional
• default: uses spaces as value delimiter
• values: 2-64

b2x bin dec 1011 1010

=> 11 10

b2x bin f32 <input>

b2x bin f64 <input>

Interpret input binary string bits as big endinan

Little endian by default

b2x bin f32 1011 1010

=> 11 10

b2x bin f64 1011 1010

=> 11 10

b2x bin hex <input>

b2x bin hex 11010 11011

=> 0x1A 0x1B

b2x bin ascii <input>

b2x bin ascii 01001111 01001110

=> ON

b2x bin utf-8 <input>

b2x bin utf-8 11000010 10110101

=> µ
