## DESCRIPTION

Dump files in octal and other formats

## OPTIONS

- **--help**

  Print help information.

- **-A**, **--address-radix**=*RADIX*

  Select the base in which file offsets are printed.

- **-j**, **--skip-bytes**=*BYTES*

  Skip bytes input bytes before formatting and writing.

- **-N**, **--read-bytes**=*BYTES*

  limit dump to BYTES input bytes

- **--endian**=*big\|little*

  byte order to use for multi-byte formats\

  \[*possible values:* big, little\]

- **-S**, **--strings**=*BYTES*

  NotImplemented: output strings of at least BYTES graphic chars. 3 is assumed when BYTES is not specified.

- **-a**

  named characters, ignoring high-order bit

- **-b**

  octal bytes

- **-c**

  ASCII characters or backslash escapes

- **-d**

  unsigned decimal 2-byte units

- **-D**

  unsigned decimal 4-byte units

- **-o**

  octal 2-byte units

- **-I**

  decimal 8-byte units

- **-L**

  decimal 8-byte units

- **-i**

  decimal 4-byte units

- **-l**

  decimal 8-byte units

- **-x**

  hexadecimal 2-byte units

- **-h**

  hexadecimal 2-byte units

- **-O**

  octal 4-byte units

- **-s**

  decimal 2-byte units

- **-X**

  hexadecimal 4-byte units

- **-H**

  hexadecimal 4-byte units

- **-e**

  floating point double precision (64-bit) units

- **-f**

  floating point double precision (32-bit) units

- **-F**

  floating point double precision (64-bit) units

- **-t**, **--format**=*TYPE*

  select output format or formats

- **-v**, **--output-duplicates**

  do not use \* to mark line suppression

- **-w**, **--width**=*BYTES*

  output BYTES bytes per output line. 32 is implied when BYTES is not specified.

- **--traditional**

  compatibility mode with one input, offset and label.

- **-V**, **--version**

  Print version

## EXTRA

Displays data in various human-readable formats. If multiple formats are specified, the output will contain all formats in the order they appear on the command line. Each format will be printed on a new line. Only the line containing the first format will be prefixed with the offset.

If no filename is specified, or it is "-", stdin will be used. After a "--", no more options will be recognized. This allows for filenames starting with a "-".

If a filename is a valid number which can be used as an offset in the second form, you can force it to be recognized as a filename if you include an option like "-j0", which is only valid in the first form.

RADIX is one of o,d,x,n for octal, decimal, hexadecimal or none.

BYTES is decimal by default, octal if prefixed with a "0", or hexadecimal if prefixed with "0x". The suffixes b, KB, K, MB, M, GB, G, will multiply the number with 512, 1000, 1024, 1000^2, 1024^2, 1000^3, 1024^3, 1000^2, 1024^2.

OFFSET and LABEL are octal by default, hexadecimal if prefixed with "0x" or decimal if a "." suffix is added. The "b" suffix will multiply with 512.

TYPE contains one or more format specifications consisting of:\
     a       for printable 7-bits ASCII\
     c       for utf-8 characters or octal for undefined characters\
     d\[SIZE\] for signed decimal\
     f\[SIZE\] for floating point\
     o\[SIZE\] for octal\
     u\[SIZE\] for unsigned decimal\
     x\[SIZE\] for hexadecimal SIZE is the number of bytes which can be the number 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16,\
     or C, I, S, L for 1, 2, 4, 8 bytes for integer types,\
     or F, D, L for 4, 8, 16 bytes for floating point. Any type specification can have a "z" suffix, which will add a ASCII dump at\
     the end of the line.

If an error occurred, a diagnostic message will be printed to stderr, and the exit code will be non-zero.
