This is the command ascii2binary that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
ascii2binary - Convert ASCII numbers to binary
SYNOPSIS
ascii2binary [flags]
DESCRIPTION
ascii2binary reads input consisting of a sequence of ASCII textual representations of
numbers, separated by whitespace, and produces as output the binary equivalents. The type
(unsigned integer, signed integer, or floating point number) and size of the binary output
is selected by means of command line flags. The default is unsigned character. Input is
checked both for format errors and to ensure that the number requested can be represented
in a number of the requested binary type and size.
INPUT FORMAT
The input formats supported are exactly those supported by strtod(3) for floating point
numbers, by strtoll(3) for signed integers, and by strtoull(3) for unsigned integers,
except that, unlike strtod(3) floating point numbers may have thousands separators. This
means that by default integers may be decimal, octal, or hexadecimal, determined by the
usual conventions. The command line flag -b may be used to specify another base for
integer conversions.
COMMAND LINE FLAGS
Long options may not be available on some systems.
-b,--base <base>
set base in range [2,36] for integer conversions. The base may be either an integer
or:
(b)binary
(o)octal
(d)ecimal
(h)exadecimal.
-h,--help
print help message
-L,locale <locale>
Set the LC_NUMERIC facet of the locale to <locale>.
-s,--sizes
print sizes of types on current machine and related information
-t,--type <type>
set type and size of output
The following are the possible output types. Note that some types may not be
available on some machines.
d double
f float
sc signed char
ss signed short
si signed int
sl signed long
sq signed long long
uc unsigned char
us unsigned short
ui unsigned int
ul unsigned long
uq unsigned long long
-v,--version
identify version
-X,--explain-exit-codes
print a summary of the exit status codes.
EXIT STATUS
The following values are returned on exit:
0 SUCCESS
The input was successfully converted.
1 INFO The user requested information such as the version number or usage synopsis and
this has been provided.
2 SYSTEM ERROR
An error resulted from a failure of the operating system such as an i/o error or
inability to allocate storage.
3 COMMAND LINE ERROR
The program was called with invalid or inconsistent command line flags.
4 RANGE ERROR
This means that the input may be well-formed but cannot be represented as the
required type. For example, if the input is the string 983 and ascii2binary is
requested to convert this into an unsigned byte, ascii2binary will exit with a
RANGE ERROR because 983 exceeds the maximum value representable in an unsigned
byte, which is 255.
5 INPUT ERROR
This means that the input was ill-formed, that is that it could not be interpreted
as a number of the required type. For example, if the input is 0x2A and a decimal
value is called for, an INPUT ERROR will be returned since 0x2A is not a valid
representation of a decimal integer.
