Show HN: TapeHead – A CLI tool for stateful random access of file streams

https://github.com/emamoah/tapehead
7•emamoah•3h ago
I wrote this tool while debugging a driver because I couldn't find a tool that allowed me to open a file, seek randomly, and read and write.

I thought it might one day be useful to someone too.
