as.character.rawFormat: Convert Binary File Format into Strings
Description
This function takes a "rawFormat" object and
generates human-readable strings for displaying the format.
Each string contains a binary offset, the binary data
in a raw machine format, and an interpretation of
the data in a human-readable format. The format
consists of one or more sub-blocks and a heading line
is added for each block.
A separator to insert between the format offset
and the machine format.
sep2
A separator to insert between the machine format
and the human-readable format.
blockHead
A logical indicating whether to print
a header between blocks of the format.
blockChar
The character used as a prefix to
the block names for printing headers between blocks.

Other arguments to as.character.
Value
A character vector.
Details
Information on the number of bytes on each line, the machine representation
of each byte and the human-readable format are all taken from the
taken from the "rawBlock" elements of the "rawFormat"
object. Consequently each block can have a quite different
appearance. Considerable effort is made to line up the separators
across all blocks within the format.
