Converting a binary file to ascii and vice versa?
Hi All,
I have a binary file which is being exported from a Database, and i need to convert that to ASCII format. How can i achieve that? And this solution should work for any file which is given to us; means they will give different files from different tables.
Thanks in advance.

acpidump
ACPIDUMP(1) General Commands Manual ACPIDUMP(1)
NAME
acpidump - dump a system's ACPI tables to an ASCII file
acpixtract - convert ASCII acpidump output to raw binary table
turbostat - gather performance statistics
SYNOPSIS
acpidump [options]
acpixtract [options] [filename]
turbostat [options] [command [arg]...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the acpidump , acpixtract and turbostat commands.
turbostat reads hardware registers and gather statistics on the processor clock frequency and C-state usage. Works properly on Nehalem and
newer processors and on Linux kernel 2.6.30 and later versions.
OPTIONS
acpidump options are as follow:
-a, --addr 0x1234
look for tables at this phisical address
-t, --table DSDT
only dump table with DSDT signature
-o, --output filename
redirect output from stdout to filename
-b, --binary
dump data in binary form rather than in hex-dump format
-l, --lenght 0x456
works only with --addr, dump phisical memory region without trying to understand it's contents
-s, --skip 2
skip 2 tables of the given name and output only 3rd one
-h, --help
outputs an help message
OPTIONS
acpixtract options are as follow:
-a extract all tables, not just DSDT/SSDT
-l list table summaries, do not extract
-s<Signature>
Extract all tables named <Signature>
OPTIONS
turbostat options are as follow:
-v makes turbostat more verbose
-i <sec>
polling interval, default is 5
When given a command turbostat runs it and outputs statistics gathered while the program was running.
EXAMPLES
Dump the DSDT table to the file DSDT.aml in binary format (this can be disassembled later with iasl(1)):
acpidump -b -t DSDT -o DSDT.aml
Show the FACP table:
acpidump -t FACP > FACP.dat
acpixtract -a FACP.dat
iasl -d FACP.dat
Dump and extract all ACPI tables:
acpidump -o DSDT.dat
acpixtract -a
Parse APIC tables:
acpidump -o DSDT.dat
acpixtract -sAPIC DSDT.dat
