Help text doesn't mention the ability to use hex numbers. #113

Closed eth-p closed 2 years ago

Considering hexyl doesn't have a manpage, the --help command is the next best thing available to users. A cool feature of hexyl is that sizes and offsets can be specified in hex notation with the 0x prefix. Unfortunately, nothing in the help text appears to mention it.

Note: I'm doing a class assignment regarding creating tests (from scratch) for an open-source command line program, and I chose hexyl for it. You might have a couple more of these on the way, depending on what the assignment brings to light :)

Disclaimer: I'm interested in resolving this. Right now, I'm just going to triage things, but I hope to have solution after I finish researching and put in my vote for my elections as a US resident.

D'oh. I obviously missed this one. Thanks!
