      NAME
           od - octal dump

      SYNTAX
           od [ -bcdosx ] [ file ] [ [ + ]offset[ . ][ b ] ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Od dumps file in the format selected by a format option.
           The format options are:

           -b    Interpret bytes in octal.

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

           -d    Interpret words in unsigned decimal.

           -o    Interpret words in octal.  If no option is given, this
                 is the default.

           -s    Interpret 16-bit words in signed decimal.

           -x    Interpret words in hex.

           If file is omitted, the standard input is read and dumped.

           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 by +.

           Dumping continues until end-of-file.
