NAME

cbor2comment - convert CBOR wire protocol to commented version

SYNOPSIS

cbor2comment test.cbor > test.txt

DESCRIPTION

cbor2comment creates a commented version of an input bytestream. For
example, if the input contained the two bytes (in hex) 61 61, the output
would be:

61 -- String, length: 1
61 -- "a"
0x6161

OPTIONS

-: read from stdin instead of a file. This is the default.

-t NUM, --tabsize NUM: the number of 2-space tab indents to move the ’--’ to the right.
Eventually, this will be replaced with an algorithm that takes two passes
over the input.

-x [string]: read the input from the hex-encoded string on the command line

-V, --version: print the node-cbor version and exit

-h, --help: print some help text and exit

TODO

	•		cbor2comment is not built for execution speed or reuse.
	•		Make 2 passes over the input.
	•		Move the summary hex output to the beginning.
