NAME

       cbor2comment - convert CBOR wire protocol to commented version

SYNOPSIS

         cbor2comment test.cbor > test.txt

DESCRIPTION

       cbor2comment  creates  a  commented  version  of an input bytestream.  For example, if the
       input contained the two bytes (in hex) 61 61, the output would be:

           61                -- String, length: 1
             61              -- "a"
         0x6161

OPTIONS

       -: read from stdin instead of a file.  This is the default.

       -t NUM, --tabsize NUM: the number of 2-space tab indents to move the '--'  to  the  right.
       Eventually, this will be replaced with an algorithm that takes two passes over the input.

       -x [string]: read the input from the hex-encoded string on the command line

       -V, --version: print the node-cbor version and exit

       -h, --help: print some help text and exit

TODO

       • cbor2comment is not built for execution speed or reuse.

       • Make 2 passes over the input.

       • Move the summary hex output to the beginning.
