historique
Historique du projet et usages
bvi is a vi-style binary and hex editor by Gerhard Buergmann. It keeps the modal, command-oriented feel of vi while treating files as byte streams rather than text lines.
Historique du projet
The official home page describes bvi as a display-oriented editor for binary files, based on the vi text editor, and notes that the package also includes the bmore viewer. The README in the official GitHub repository identifies Gerhard Buergmann as the author and states that bvi is distributed under the GPL.
The project has a long SourceForge release history: the download page lists 1.3.0 in 2001, 1.3.1 in 2002, 1.3.2 in 2004, 1.4.x releases in 2014, 2019, and 2023, and 1.5.0 as the stable release in 2025.
Historique d'adoption
bvi spread through traditional Unix packaging channels because it solves a small but durable problem: editing binary files from a terminal with vi muscle memory. The official download page links to Debian, FreeBSD, Fedora, MacPorts, HP-UX, Solaris, Cygwin, and older static Linux executables; the supplied package facts also show Homebrew, Alpine, Nix, Ubuntu, and zypper packaging.
Modes d'utilisation
bvi is used for direct inspection and patching of binary files. Its manpage explains the three-pane display with byte offsets, hex bytes, and printable characters, byte-offset ranges instead of line ranges, hex search commands, read-only mode, partial file loading, and startup commands via BVIINIT, ~/.bvirc, or ./.bvirc.
Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent
bvi is a classic small Unix utility: curses-based, vi-shaped, and useful when heavyweight GUI hex editors are unavailable. Its packaging significance comes from portability and from the fact that it preserves vi semantics in a domain where line-oriented editor assumptions break.
