This adds a %x00 format which parses the 00 as hex encoding for a byte and
prints the resulting byte. This can be used to add null bytes or other bytes
that can make machine parsing easier. It is also necessary to use fwrite to
print out the data since printf will terminate if you feed it a null.
Junio supplied the hex decoding.
