CSB

1 - Abstract

Character Separated Binary, or CSB for short, is a simple text format for encoding raw binary data.

In CSB, bytes may be written in binary format and may be separated by any non-binary characters. Said bytes may omit leading zeroes.

2.1 - Examples

2.1.1 - Assembly

If a file called "data.csb" contained the following code:

1000001
1000010
1000011

then running the following command:

npx telos-csb assemble data.csb data.out

would produce a binary file called "data.out", which if opened in a text editor would display:

ABC

2.1.2 - Disassembly

If the data.out file from the previous example is present in the current directory, and if this command were to be run:

npx telos-csb disassemble data.out data2.csb

then a file called "data2.csb" would be generated containing the same content as the data.csb from the previous example.
