EDID parser in Go Language

This is an EDID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data) parser library and application written in Go language.

This contains an executable (currently available for windows - edidparser.exe and can be easily compiled for other platforms as well) and a library that can be imported and used to parse edids.

Binary usage:

First dump the edid bytes to a file (space separated bytes - see edid_input.txt file to see a sample input file). And pass the file path as argument to the edidparser binary.

eg: edidparser.exe <path_to_file_containing_edid_dump>

C:\>edidparser.exe edid_input.txt
