class IO::Hexdump
Overview
IO object that prints an hexadecimal dump of all transferred data.
Especially useful for debugging binary protocols on an IO, to understand better when and how data is sent or received.
By default IO::Hexdump
won't print anything; you must specify which of
read
, write
or both you want to print.
Example:
require "io/hexdump"
socket = IO::Memory.new("abc")
io = IO::Hexdump.new(socket, output: STDERR, read: true)
When data is read from io it will print something akin to the following on STDERR:
