Easilly render binary data as printable text With optional simple, bi-directional seed encryption
Usage:
./astext [input filename OR - for stdin] [output filename OR -c for stdout] [seed value]
astext-ified data can easilly be converted back to the original binary file with printf.
Example in bash:
$ printf "$(./astext data.bin)" > data_out.bin
Example with encryption:
$ printf "$(printf "$(./astext data.bin -c 7777)" | ./astext - -c 7777)" > data_out.bin
