NAME
od - octal dump
USAGE
od [ -bcdosx ] [ file ] [ [ + ] offset [ . ][ b ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Od dumps file in one or more selected formats. If none of
the options below are specified, file is interpreted in
octal by default.
The file argument specifies which file is to be dumped. If
no file argument is specified, the standard input is used.
The offset argument specifies the offset in the file where
dumping is to commence. This argument is normally inter-
preted as octal bytes. If a period (.) is appended, the
offset is interpreted in decimal. If b is appended, the
offset is interpreted in blocks of 512 bytes. If the file
argument is omitted, the offset argument must be preceded by
a plus sign (+).
Dumping continues until end-of-file.
OPTIONS
-b Interpret bytes in octal.
-c Interpret bytes in ASCII. Certain nongraphic
characters appear as C escapes: null=\0,
backspace=\b, formfeed=\f, newline=\n, return=\r,
tab=\t; others appear as three-digit octal
numbers.
-d Interpret words in unsigned decimal.
-o Interpret words in octal.
-s Interpret 16-bit words in signed decimal.
-x Interpret words in hexadecimal.
