This is a hexadecimal editor. Here's how it works:
hexedit blah.binblah.bin in hex to a temporary text file.blah.bin.blah.bin.Each line in the editor is something like this:
# offset: data # ASCII value.
00000000: 5468 6973 2069 7320 6120 6865 7861 6465 # This.is.a.hexade

The annotations and whitespace are just for your benefit, and are
ignored by the program. Everything before the first :, or after the
first # is removed. Whitespace is stripped. If there are any invalid
hex characters after this transformation, or if the result is an odd
number of hex digits, then an error is thrown.
