        if ($number_of_matches = -1) {
            die sprintf("ERROR: %s\n", File::BSED->errtostr());
        }
        print "Replaced $number_of_matches time(s).\n";

   "gbsed(\%arguments)"
    Alias to "binary_search_replace" for backward compatibility.

   "binary_file_matches($search_pattern, $input_file)"
    Return the number of times $search_pattern is found in binary file.
    Search pattern must be a string of hex digits.

    Example:

        my $number_of_matches = binary_file_matches('0xfeedface', '/bin/ls');
        print "Matched $number_of_matches time(s)\n";

   "string_to_hexstring($text)"
    Convert text to a string of ASCII hex values.

  ERROR HANDLING
   "errtostr"
    This function returns a string describing what happened. if an error has
    occurred with either "binary_search_matches" or "binary_file_matches"
    (they return -1 on error).

   "errno"
    This function returns the error number if an error has occurred with
    either "binary_search_replace" or "binary_file_matches" (they return -1
    on error).

    Use "errtostr" instead.

  WARNINGS
   "warnings()"
    Returns an array ref to any warnings raised.

    Example:

        my @warnings = @{ File::BSED::warnings() };
        for my $warning (@warnings) {
            warn "Warning: $warning\n";
        }
