## 项目历史与用法

ascii2binary is a pair of C/POSIX command-line programs, `ascii2binary` and `binary2ascii`, for converting between textual representations of numbers and raw binary values. The upstream page frames them as tools for test data generation, binary-file inspection, and glue between text-producing and binary-consuming programs.

### 项目历史

The official page documents version 2.14 as current, last modified on 2010-08-29. Its changelog starts at version 2.0, when support for long and long long integers was added, and version 2.1 added the companion `binary2ascii` command.

Later 2.x releases focused on practical conversion details: base selection, internationalization, endianness reporting, script-friendly exit codes, long double support, locale-aware thousands separators, type-size reporting, and packaging-oriented header-name cleanup.

### 采用历史

The upstream downloads section links not only tarballs but also Debian, FreeBSD FreshPorts, Open Package, OpenSolaris, SUSE RPM, and Ubuntu package pages. The input package facts show current Homebrew, Debian, and Ubuntu package-manager coverage.

### 使用方式

Users pipe whitespace-separated textual numbers into `ascii2binary` with flags selecting base and type, then pipe binary data into `binary2ascii` to inspect or reformat it. The official examples show hexadecimal-to-binary conversion, binary-to-hex/binary display, floating-point inspection, width and zero-padding controls, and locale conversion from German to American English number formatting.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

This is a classic small Unix filter package: narrow purpose, POSIX C implementation, man pages, no credentials, no runtime config, and behavior that matters in scripts. Its fine-grained exit codes and locale/type-size options are the sort of details downstream users notice when a converter becomes part of test fixtures or data pipelines.

### 时间线

- 2007-02: Official ascii2binary man page timestamp.
- 2.0: Adds support for long and long long integers.
- 2.1: Adds binary2ascii to the package.
- 2.3: Programs become fully internationalized with a French translation.
- 2.7: Exit codes are redefined for script-friendly error classes.
- 2.11: Locale-aware numeric conversion is added.
- 2010-08: Official page lists version 2.14 as current and last modified.

### Related projects

- strtod, strtoll, and strtoull are the C library conversion functions named in the official man page.
- Downstream package links on the official page include Debian, FreeBSD FreshPorts, Open Package, OpenSolaris, SUSE RPMs, and Ubuntu.
