Integer to hexadecimal in bash
Create a function hex
which works as
$ hex 1
0x1
and
$ echo 1 | hex
0x1
function hex {
if [ -t 0 ]; then
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
printf '0x%x\n' $1
return
fi
else
while read -r line ; do
printf '0x%x\n' $line
done
return
fi
echo "usage: hex n"
return 1
}
(Note that this uses the pattern from this TIL post.)
