/** @template GetHex(const void *dat, size_t size, size_t col, bool prefix)

Converts from a binary block into a hex representation.

@param dat
    Pointer to the data block

@param size
    Size of the data block (in bytes)

@param col
    Number of columns before new line (zero <default> to write a
    continous stream

@param prefix
    Boolean which defines whether each line should be prefixed with a counter,
    the default is true. It is ignored if col==0

@tparam T
    type to which the data should be converted. Most usefull types are
    unsigned byte, unsigned short, unsigned int, uint8_t, uint16_t, ...

@returns
    The string
