| 13 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | .I Od |
| 15 | dumps |
| 16 | .I file |
| 17 | in |
| 18 | one or more formats |
| 19 | as |
| 20 | selected by the first argument. |
| 21 | If the first argument is missing, |
| 22 | .B \-o |
| 23 | is default. |
| 24 | The meanings of the format argument characters |
| 25 | are: |
| 26 | .TP 3 |
| 27 | .B b |
| 28 | Interpret bytes in octal. |
| 29 | .TP 3 |
| 30 | .B c |
| 31 | Interpret bytes in ASCII. |
| 32 | Certain non-graphic characters appear as C escapes: |
| 33 | null=\e0, |
| 34 | backspace=\eb, |
| 35 | formfeed=\ef, |
| 36 | newline=\en, |
| 37 | return=\er, |
| 38 | tab=\et; |
| 39 | others appear as 3-digit octal numbers. |
| 40 | .TP 3 |
| 41 | .B d |
| 42 | Interpret words in decimal. |
| 43 | .TP 3 |
| 44 | .B o |
| 45 | Interpret words in octal. |
| 46 | .TP 3 |
| 47 | .B x |
| 48 | Interpret words in hex. |
| 49 | .PP |
| 50 | The |
| 51 | .I file |
| 52 | argument specifies which file is to be dumped. |
| 53 | If no file argument is specified, |
| 54 | the standard input is used. |
| 55 | .PP |
| 56 | The offset argument specifies the offset |
| 57 | in the file where dumping is to commence. |
| 58 | This argument is normally interpreted |
| 59 | as octal bytes. |
| 60 | If `\fB.\fR' is appended, the offset is interpreted in |
| 61 | decimal. |
| 62 | If `\fBb\fR' is appended, the offset is interpreted in |
| 63 | blocks of 512 bytes. |
| 64 | If the file argument is omitted, |
| 65 | the offset argument must be preceded |
| 66 | .RB ` + '. |
| 67 | .PP |
| 68 | Dumping continues until end-of-file. |
