+.s3

+\fBa\fR interprets words as PDP-11 instructions and

+\fBb\fR interprets bytes in octal.

+The \fIfile\fR argument specifies which file is to be dumped.
+If no file argument is specified,
+the standard input is used.
+Thus
+.it od
+can be used as a filter.
+.s3
+The offset argument specifies the offset
+in the file where dumping is to commence.
+This argument is normally interpreted
+as octal bytes.
+If `\fB.\fR' is appended, the offset is interpreted in
+decimal.
+If `\fBb\fR' is appended, the offset is interpreted in blocks.
+(A block is 512 bytes.)
+If the file argument is omitted,
+the offset argument must be preceded by `\fB+\fR'.
+.s3
+Dumping continues until end-of-file.
