This document describes File::BSED version 0.67

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a perl-binding to C<libgbsed>, a binary stream editor.
C<gbsed> lets you search and replace binary data in binary files by using hex
values in text strings as search patterns. You can also use wildcard matches
with C<??>, which will match any wide byte.
These are all valid search strings:
search => "0xffc300193ab2f63a";
search => "0xff??00??3ab2f??a";
search => "FF??00??3AB2F??A";
while these are not:
search => "the quick brown fox"; # only hex, no text. you would have to
# convert the text to hex first.
search => "0xff?c33ab3?accc"; # no nybbles only wide bytes. (?? not ?).
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=head2 CLASS METHODS
=head3 C<binary_search_replace(\%arguments)>
Search and replace in a binary file.
Valid arguments are:
=over 4
=item search
The pattern to search for. Must be a string with hex digits.
=item replace
What to replace with. Must be a string with hex digits.
(Probably a very good idea that it is the same length as the search pattern).
=item infile
The filename of the file to search in.
=item outfile
The filename of the file to save changes to.
=item minmatch
Need at least C<$minmatch> matches before any work.
=item maxmatch
Stop after C<$maxmatch> matches.
=back
C<bsed> returns the number of times the search string was found
in the file, or C<-1> if an error occurred.
When an error occurs the error number can be found with C<errno>
and you can get a description of the error with C<errtostr>.
Example:
my $number_of_matches = binary_search_replace({
search => '0xff',
replace => '0x00',
infile => '/bin/ls',
outfile => '/bin/ls.patched',
});
if ($number_of_matches = -1) {
die sprintf("ERROR: %s\n", File::BSED->errtostr());
}
print "Replaced $number_of_matches time(s).\n";
=head3 C<gbsed(\%arguments)>
Alias to C<binary_search_replace> for backward compatibility.
=head3 C<binary_file_matches($search_pattern, $input_file)>
Return the number of times C<$search_pattern> is found in binary file.
Search pattern must be a string of hex digits.
Example:
my $number_of_matches = binary_file_matches('0xfeedface', '/bin/ls');
print "Matched $number_of_matches time(s)\n";
=head3 C<string_to_hexstring($text)>
Convert text to a string of ASCII hex values.
=head2 ERROR HANDLING
=head3 C<errtostr>
This function returns a string describing what happened.
if an error has occurred with either C<binary_search_matches> or C<binary_file_matches>
(they return -1 on error).
=head3 C<errno>
This function returns the error number if an error has occurred with
either C<binary_search_replace> or C<binary_file_matches> (they return -1 on error).
Use C<errtostr> instead.
=head2 WARNINGS
=head3 C<warnings()>
Returns an array ref to any warnings raised.
Example:
my @warnings = @{ File::BSED::warnings() };
for my $warning (@warnings) {
warn "Warning: $warning\n";
}
