If you’re on a Mac (and if you aren’t, what the hell is wrong with you?):

alias cbuf '(echo "u_char buf[] = {" &&                 hexdump -ve \'/1 "0x%.2x,"\' !* &&          echo && echo "};" )'

      cbuf binary.dump | pbcopy

  <switch to Emacs>
  <paste>

pbcopy and pbpaste are two tools that have changed my life over the past few months. I have a sad, sad little life.

    …and if you’re using KDE on Linux, you can use ‘dcop klipper klipper setClipboardContents’ to feed yer clipboard.

    Great hexdump trick, thanks!
