Overview
Bookmarks for dhex(1) are stored in marker files. This manpage describes the format of those marker files.

Options

Comments
Comments are indicated with a '#' character. Everything afterwards in a line is being ignored when parsing the file
Bookmark section
Bookmarks can be either absolute or relative. Lines with absolute bookmarks are starting with '=', the relative ones with '+' or '-'. The value is a 64 bit hexadecimal one.
