The K Desktop Environment

3.4. Command line arguments

KHexEdit recognizes a few command line arguments. The arguments must be arranged as described below: as follows:

khexedit <options> <files>

-offset <value>

Moves the cursor in the active document to offset. The offset value can be decimal or hexadecimal. A hexadecimal value is recognized by the 0x sign in front (eg, 0x100). The 0x sign is not required if the string contains the hexadecimal characters a..f,A..F.

<files>

This can be one or more files. You can use wildcards if that is supported the the shell interpreter you use. A file can be specified with the "http://FQDN/path", "ftp://FQDN/path" or "file:/path". The latter refers to a local file and one can simply use "path" instead. FQDN is shorthand for "Fully Qualified Domain Name".
