The best-known is the string "From " (including trailing space) at the beginning of a line, used to separate mail messages in the mbox file format. By using a binary-to-text encoding on messages that are already plain text, then decoding on the other end, one can make such systems appear to be completely transparent .
Hex signature ISO 8859-1 Offset Extension Description 23 21 #! 0 Script or data to be passed to the program following the shebang (#!) [1]: 02 00 5a 57 52 54 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
In 1973, ECMA-35 and ISO 2022 [18] attempted to define a method so an 8-bit "extended ASCII" code could be converted to a corresponding 7-bit code, and vice versa. [19] In a 7-bit environment, the Shift Out would change the meaning of the 96 bytes 0x20 through 0x7F [a] [21] (i.e. all but the C0 control codes), to be the characters that an 8-bit environment would print if it used the same code ...
The UTF-8 representation of the BOM is the (hexadecimal) byte sequence EF BB BF. The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8 , [ 4 ] but does not require or recommend its use. [ 5 ] UTF-8 always has the same byte order, [ 6 ] so its only use in UTF-8 is to signal at the start that the text stream is encoded in UTF-8, or that it was converted ...
Byte values can be expressed in hexadecimal with the prefix \x followed by two hex digits: '\x1B' represents the Esc control character; "\x1B[0m\x1B[25;1H" is a string containing 11 characters with two embedded Esc characters. [3] To output an integer as hexadecimal with the printf function family, the format conversion code %X or %x is used.
Length-prefixed "short" Strings (up to 64 bytes), marker-terminated "long" Strings and (optional) back-references Arbitrary-length heterogenous arrays with end-marker Arbitrary-length key/value pairs with end-marker Structured Data eXchange Formats (SDXF) Big-endian signed 24-bit or 32-bit integer Big-endian IEEE double
On most modern computers, this is an eight bit string. Because the definition of a byte is related to the number of bits composing a character, some older computers have used a different bit length for their byte. [2] In many computer architectures, the byte is the smallest addressable unit, the atom of addressability, say. For example, even ...
Intel hexadecimal object file format, Intel hex format or Intellec Hex is a file format that conveys binary information in ASCII text form, [10] making it possible to store on non-binary media such as paper tape, punch cards, etc., to display on text terminals or be printed on line-oriented printers.
