The command hexyl is a tool used to display binary files in a hexadecimal format. When executed, it takes two arguments:
-
-n ${n}: This argument specifies the number of bytes to be displayed.${n}is a placeholder for the actual value ofn. For example, if you want to display 16 bytes, you would replace${n}with16. -
${filename}: This argument specifies the path or name of the file you want to view in hexadecimal format.${filename}is a placeholder for the actual name of the file.
So, when you run the command hexyl -n ${n} ${filename}, it will display the contents of the file specified by ${filename} in hexadecimal format, showing ${n} bytes.
