Pattern Language

The custom C-like Pattern Language developed and used by ImHex is easy to read, understand and learn. A guide with all features of the language can be found on the docs page.

Database

For format patterns, includable libraries magic and constant files, check out the ImHex-Patterns repository. Feel free to PR your own files there as well!

Plugin development

To develop plugins for ImHex, use one of the following two templates projects to get started. You then have access to the entirety of libimhex as well as the ImHex API and the Content Registry to interact with ImHex or to add new content.

Nightly builds

Nightlies are available via GitHub Actions here.

Compiling

To compile ImHex, a C++20 compiler is required. Releases are all mainly built using GCC, however on macOS, clang is also required to compile some ObjC code.

Many dependencies are bundled into the repository using submodules so make sure to clone it using the --recurse-submodules option. All dependencies that aren't bundled, can be installed using the dependency installer scripts found in the /dist folder.
