# BRIN, the Binary (Rust btw) INspector *BRIN* is a small tool to parse binary formats. You can define a .brin file with a description of your binary format. Then you can `brin inspect -f description.brin -b binary_file` and BRIN will attempt to parse and print your binary file into a structured, JSON-like format. BRIN is designed to quickly troubleshoot problems in binary files, so it will always attempt to parse as much as possible even if parts of the parsing fails. ## great how do I start? You don't! Work in progress! bye
