CBOR2COMMENT(1) General Commands Manual CBOR2COMMENT(1)
NAME
cbor2comment - convert CBOR wire protocol to commented version
SYNOPSIS
cbor2comment test.cbor > test.txt
DESCRIPTION
cbor2comment creates a commented version of an input bytestream. For
example, if the input contained the two bytes (in hex) 61 61, the output
would be:
61 -- String, length: 1
61 -- "a"
0x6161
OPTIONS
-: read from stdin instead of a file. This is the default.
-t NUM, --tabsize NUM: the number of 2-space tab indents to move the
'--' to the right.
Eventually, this will be replaced with an algorithm that takes two
passes
over the input.
-x [string]: read the input from the hex-encoded string on the command
line
-V, --version: print the node-cbor version and exit
-h, --help: print some help text and exit
TODO
• cbor2comment is not built for execution speed or reuse.
• Make 2 passes over the input.
• Move the summary hex output to the beginning.
