Currently, you’re using the reference output to verify the results. I
find this rather difficult.
Can this not be written in a way that the test itself verifies the
results? I realize bit manipulation in bash is hard, which is why I
wonder whether Python may be better suited for the job.
Or maybe at least there could be some way to produce a hexdump-like
result from some more abstract description on what to expect and then
compare the strings.
I suppose I can live with how it is, but I feel like I’d have to do
something in my head that could be better done by a script.
