Produce a "standard" hexdump of the specified string or file-like
object. The output consists of a series of lines like this:
000000: 72 22 22 22 4f 53 20 72 6f 75 r'''OS rou

The output width (i.e., the number of decoded characters shown on a
line) can be controlled with the width parameter.
Adjacent repeated lines are collapsed by default. For example:
000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..........
*** Repeated 203 times
0007f8: 72 22 22 22 4f 53 20 72 6f 75 r'''OS rou
This behavior can be disabled via the show_repeats parameter.
- Parameters:
source (str or file) - The object whose contents are to be dumped in hex. The
object can be a string or a file-like object.
out (file) - Where to dump the hex output
width (int) - The number of dumped characters per line
start (int) - Offset within input where reading should begin
limit (int) - Total number of bytes to dump. Defaults to everything from
start to the end.
show_repeats (bool) - False to collapse repeated output lines, True to
dump all lines, even if they're repeats.
