_____
The --length option changes how many characters to print (not including any formatting like offsets and borders).
The --chunk option changes how large the buffer array should be; the bigger it is, the faster but uses more memory.
The --hex option simply prints the input in hexadecimal.
The --color option uses colors to differentiate between letters (\0 are gray, others indicate how large the character code is, and orange is non-ascii characters). Note, make sure you use a terminal emulator that supports ANSI 256-color mode.
The --space option replaces all the spaces (0x20) with a green-colored _. This also affects the hex output.
The --binary option prints the input in binary
