cc rehex.c -o rehex

Why?
----

The onstat commands don't use a consistent format when they print hexadecimal numbers.

"onstat -g opn" uses "0x%.8x"
"onstat -g ppf" uses "0x%x"
"onstat -u" uses "%x"
"onstat -C hot" uses "0x%.8X" (but "onstat -C clean" uses "0x%.8x")

rehex reformats any hexadecimal numbers to "%x". ie, any 0x and extra 0s are removed.

eg:
The 'rstcb' column from 'onstat -g opn is the 'address' column in 'onstat -u', but with an extra "0x".
The 'partnum' column from 'onstat -g opn' is the 'partnum' column in 'onstat -g ppf, but padded with extra '0's.
etc

Having everything in a consistent format makes it a lot easier to script things.

Just pipe 'onstat -whatever' thru rehex. eg: "onstat -g ppf | rehex"
