Documentation

Set current buffer's modes be hexl-mode major mode, plus image-minor-mode(var)/image-minor-mode(fun).

This will by default display an image file as hex. image-minor-mode(var)/image-minor-mode(fun) provides the key sequence C-c C-x (image-toggle-hex-display) to switch back to image-mode to display an image file's buffer as an image.

You can use image-mode-as-hex in auto-mode-alist when you want to display image files as hex by default.

See commands image-mode and image-minor-mode(var)/image-minor-mode(fun) for more information on these modes.
