blob: cap amount of rendered binary blob content
Although hexdump(1)-style rendering of binary blob content may reveal
some meaningful information about the data, it wastes even more storage
space than embedding the raw data itself. However, many binary files
have a "magic number" or other signature near the beginning of the file,
so it is often possible to glean useful information from just the
initial chunk of the file without having the entire content available.
Thus, limiting the rendered data to just an initial chunk saves storage
space while still potentially presenting useful information about the
binary content.
