Welcome to the

Homepage
Here you can find all the informations about bvi you need.
The bvi is a display-oriented editor for binary files, based on the vi texteditor.
If you are familiar with vi, just start the editor and begin to edit!
If you never heard about vi, maybe bvi is not the best
choice for you.
Current version of bvi is bvi-1.2.0.
Check out whats new! You can
download source and compiled versions from the download page.
Main differences to vi are:
- There are no lines in a binary file. The lines on the screen have no
relation to the contents of the edited file. Therefor there are no commands
based on lines (o, O, dd). Also there are no commands for
text-specific arrangements like words, paragraphs, sentence, sections and
so on.
- Similar to the text search commands there are
additional hex-search functions \ and #, where you can
search for any byte value (e.g. \4e 00 d3).
- There are commands for binary operations (logical operations
:and, :or, :xor, :not and bitwise shift and rotate commands
:rleft, :rright, :sleft, :sright)
Bvi was developed by Gerhard Bürgmann and is published
under the GNU Public License. Current version is 1.2.0. Bvi is running
on most UNIX - like operating systems and on MSDOS.
