That's correct, but with the previous code there will be a truncation
is "echo -n 0x123456789". If we don't want that, we should check if the
last character is a '\n'.

OK
Appended is another patch that adds the '\n' check and reworks the code
a bit (so that it will accept strings like "0x1" too).
Thanks,
