bed (ncurses-based adjustable data format binary/hex editor)
Bed is a binary editor that supports editing/viewing data in a wide
-variety of formats, including ASCII, unsigned and signed integers, float,
-bit-flags, bit-fields, labels, EBCDIC and time_t. Different sizes and
-byte orderings are possible. Data types can be used in structures. Other
-data formats, filters and procedures can be defined in plugins.
