  Description     : Fast Vim-inspired hex editor for the terminal

 feature-rich terminal hex editor and viewer written in Rust.
 dz6 combines the speed and efficiency of a terminal-based text user interface (TUI)
 with Vim-inspired key bindings, making it a powerful tool for analyzing and editing
 binary files directly from the command line.
 .
 Designed for performance, dz6 handles large files with ease. It offers a wide range
 of features essential for reverse engineering, forensic analysis, and low-level data
 manipulation, including:
 .
   - Navigation and editing in both hexadecimal and ASCII views.
   - Vim-like key bindings for efficient navigation and editing.
   - A powerful string list with regex filtering.
   - Search functionality for strings and hex bytes.
   - Ability to add comments and bookmarks, with an option to store them
     in a separate database file (.dz6).
   - Color-coded block marking.
   - Parsing of PE and ELF file headers.
   - A built-in 64-bit calculator.
   - Configurable options and theme support (dark/light).
 .
 Despite the availability of other hex editors, dz6 stands out for its speed,
 versatility, and modern feature set, all while being open-source and cross-platform.
 It is already packaged for several other distributions (Arch Linux AUR, FreeBSD,
 BigLinux) and operating systems (Windows via Winget, macOS via Homebrew),
 demonstrating its maturity and demand.
 .
 Including dz6 in Debian would provide users with a modern, fast, and capable hex
 editor that integrates seamlessly into the terminal workflow, benefiting developers,
 security researchers, and system administrators who need to inspect or modify
 binary data efficiently.
