**circle**: statistics ASCII circle for analysing byte entropy in files.

**circle** reads all bytes in a file, and counts and arranges them from 0x00 to 0xff. Then it calculates the Standard deviation (sigma) of the data, and arranges the 256 resulting buckets in a circle, in such a way that the distance from the centre is proportional to the byte value (with 0x00 at the center, and ...0xf0-0xff bytes the farthest from it). The char that represents each byte is proportional to the deviation from the mean, in fractions of the standard deviation.

From v2.6, the list of different bytes counted can be printed using options `-l`, `-L`, `-Z`. Values over the mean will be printed green, and below it, they will be red.
