   IO::Hexdump
 
  
  Overview
IO object that prints an hexadecimal dump of all transferred data.
Especially useful for debugging binary protocols on an IO, to understand better when and how data is sent or received.
By default IO::Hexdump won't print anything; you must specify which of
#read, #write or both you want to print.
Example:
require "io/hexdump"
socket = IO::Memory.new("abc")
io = IO::Hexdump.new(socket, output: STDERR, read: true)When data is read from io it will print something akin to the following on STDERR:
00000000  50 52 49 20 2a 20 48 54  54 50 2f 32 2e 30 0d 0a  PRI * HTTP/2.0..

  Constructor Detail
Instance Method Detail
Sets the current position (in bytes) in this IO.
The IO class raises on this method, but some subclasses, notable
IO::FileDescriptor and IO::Memory implement it.
File.write("testfile", "hello")
file = File.new("testfile")
file.pos = 3
file.gets_to_end # => "lo"Reads at most slice.size bytes from this IO into slice.
Returns the number of bytes read, which is 0 if and only if there is no
more data to read (so checking for 0 is the way to detect end of file).
io = IO::Memory.new "hello"
slice = Bytes.new(4)
io.read(slice) # => 4
slice          # => Bytes[104, 101, 108, 108]
io.read(slice) # => 1
slice          # => Bytes[111, 101, 108, 108]
io.read(slice) # => 0
