      NAME
           od - octal dump

      SYNOPSIS
           od [ -abcdoxDOXw ] [ file ] [ [ + ]offset[ . ][ b ] ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Od dumps file in one or more formats as selected by the first  argu-
           ment.   If  the first argument is missing, -o is default.  The mean-
           ings of the format argument characters are:

           b  Interpret bytes in octal.

           c  Interpret bytes in ASCII.  Certain non-graphic characters  appear
              as  C  escapes:  null=\0,  backspace=\b, formfeed=\f, newline=\n,
              return=\r, tab=\t; others appear as 3-digit octal numbers.

           d  Interpret shorts (16 bit words) in decimal.

           o  Interpret shorts (16 bit words) in octal.

           w  Produce wide (132 column) output.

           x  Interpret shorts (16 bit words) in hex.

           D  Interpret longs (32 bit words) in decimal.

           O  Interpret longs (32 bit words) in octal.

           X  Interpret longs (32 bit words) in hex.

           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 interpreted as octal
           bytes.  If `.' 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 `+'.

           Dumping continues until end-of-file.
