filename
    The name of the file to open in the hex editor.

hx is a terminal-based hex editor for viewing and modifying binary files. hx provides a curses-based interface that allows users to navigate through a file, view bytes in both hexadecimal and ASCII representations, and perform edits.

It's particularly useful for tasks like inspecting file formats, reverse engineering, and directly modifying data at the byte level. hx aims to be a lightweight and easy-to-use alternative to more complex hex editors, providing basic functionality for common hex editing tasks within the terminal environment. This tool is valuable for system administrators, developers, and security researchers who need to examine and manipulate binary data directly.

hx uses a curses-based interface, navigating the file using arrow keys or vim-like keys(hjkl).
