DESCRIPTION

Bookmarks for dhex(1) are stored in marker files. This manpage describes the format of those marker files.

EXAMPLE

A typical marker file looks like this:
`#DHEX' MARKERS
`#VERSION' 0
`#lines' are all in hex
`#relative' positions are =, +, -

`=0000000000000000'
`=0000000000001000'
`=0000000000002000'
`+0000000000001000'
`+0000000000002000'
`-0000000000001000'
`-0000000000002000'
`=00000005334ffeba'
`=00000000DEADBEEF'
`+000000000000BABE'

OPTIONS

In the example above, the file has two sections: A comment section, and a bookmark section.

Comments

Comments are indicated with a '#' character. Everything afterwards in a line is being ignored when parsing the file

Bookmark section

Bookmarks can be either absolute or relative. Lines with absolute bookmarks are starting with '=', the relative ones with '+' or '-'. The value is a 64 bit hexadecimal one.

There should always be 10 bookmarks per file.
