本文介绍如何使用Vim在Linux环境下打开并修改二进制文件。通过使用%xxd命令将二进制转换为十六进制表示，便于查看和编辑。修改完毕后，再用%xxd -r命令将其还原为二进制格式。

In some exception case, we need to check and modified a binary file byte by byte , in a Windows-like OS, we could use some tools like UtralEdit and so on.

but in a Linux/Unix-like OS, how can we do this ?

I suggest VIM.

VIM is a smart and powerful and flexible tool , it can do too much more things than our cognition.

here I'll show you how to use Vim to read and modified a binary file.

first, open the binary file by vim :

vim -b test.bin

at this this moment, you'll see some digital gibberish like below:

QFI<fb>^@^@^@^C^@^@^@^@^@^@^A^H^@^@^@*^@^@^@^P^@^@^@^B@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^R^@^@^@^@^@^C^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^A^@^@^@^@^@^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^ @^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^D^@^@^@hh^C<f8>W^@^@^@<90>^@^@dirty bit^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^Acorrupt bit^@^@ ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^A^@lazy refcounts^@^@^@^

...

then, type "%!xxd" in Vim's command mode, you'll see the digital gibberish been converted to hex and showed like below:

now, you can modify the hex words in the Vim's edit mode, for example , here I will modify the red block of the above text.

after it , type "%!xxd -r" to convert the hex type to binary type,

save this file like you always doing in Vim. Now , this binary file had been modified .

open this file again , you'll see like below:
