XFile - Binary File Management

XFile is a C# library for working with binary files that have a specific header. It provides features for reading, writing, and managing these binary files while maintaining the required file format.

Features

• Create XFiles: Initialize new binary files with a custom or default XFile header.
• Write Binary Data: Write binary data to a file, including the XFile header.
• Append Data: Append binary data to an existing file.
• Read Binary Data: Read binary data from a file, skipping the XFile header.
• Read Text Data: Read text data from a file, supporting multiple encodings.

Please read the documentation for more information.
