Do you have a program especially for > this? Hopefully not just a hex editor... Very good question. I definitely already have a primitive tool for this. However I'm unsure where to put it - it's a fairly low-level tool, so should I add it to the kernel tree? How about bootsplash_file.h - I guess I should I move it to include/uapi/linux/ so external tools can use it?
