od -- Command

Print an octal dump of a file
od [-bcdox] [file] [ [+] offset[.][b] ]

od prints  the specified file  as a sequence  of octal numbers,  or machine
words.  If no file is specified, od dumps the standard input.

The following options set the format of od's output:

    -b  Bytes in default base
    -c  Bytes in ASCII characters
    -d  Words in decimal
    -o  Words in octal
    -x  Words in hexadecimal

The default base  is octal on the PDP-11 and  hexadecimal on the i80286, Z-
8001, and M68000 families of microprocessors.

Dumping can  start at position offset into the  file.  The specified offset
is octal unless the `.' suffix is present to signify decimal.  offset is in
bytes unless the b suffix is present to signify 512-byte blocks.
