hachoir-urwid is a binary file explorer that uses the Hachoir library to parse files. Using this tool, you can know the exact meaning of each bit/byte of your files. With direction keys, you can navigate in the field tree. The key 'h' will disable 'human display' and switch to 'raw display'. It's sometimes useful when you would like to compare hexadecimal data and Hachoir representation.

Recent releases


Changes: The new getFieldType() method of hachoir-core 1.2 is used to display better information about the field type. For example, it shows the string character set.


Changes: This version is compatible with hachoir-core and hachoir-parser 1.0. The preload default value is now set to 15 fields (instead of 3).


Changes: Fixes were made to support the latest version of urwid (0.9.6+). Updates were made to last versions of hachoir-core and hachoir-parser. The command line option --force-mime was replaced with --parser, and the value is now the parser identifier. The command line options --hide-value and --hide-size were added.
