csplit extension for binary files

[porte10]

Hello,

How about extending csplit functionnality to binary files ?

There is a recurrent need for a tool that can extract data
bounded by arbitrary patterns in binary files: recovery
from broken archives, header stripping etc ...

So i think it is really a core util, and csplit is the natural
place for deriving it (csplit is rich and works even with regex
-- so i have the feeling that changes to code would be minor
compared to the complexity and power of split).

Some tools referenced in "textutils" already accept binary files
(od, split ...) so why not csplit ?
