format_file +.Op Fl n Ar length +.Bk -words +.Op Fl s Ar skip +.Ek +.Ar file ... +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The hexdump utility is a filter which displays the specified files, or +the standard input, if no files are specified, in a user specified +format. +.Pp +The options are as follows: +.Bl -tag -width Fl +.It Fl b +.Em One-byte octal display . +Display the input offset in hexadecimal, followed by sixteen +space-separated, three column, zero-filled, bytes of input data, +in octal, per line. +.It Fl c +.Em One-byte character display . +Display the input offset in hexadecimal, followed by sixteen +space-separated, three column, space-filled, characters of input +data per line. +.It Fl d +.Em Two-byte decimal display. +Display the input offset in hexadecimal, followed by eight +space-separated, five column, zero-filled, two-byte units +of input data, in unsigned decimal, per line. +.It Fl e Ar format_string +Specify a format string to be used for displaying data. +.It Fl f Ar format_file +Specify a file that contains one or more newline separated format strings. +Empty lines and lines whose first non-blank character is a hash mark +.Pf ( Cm \&# ) +are ignored. +.It Fl n Ar length +Interpret only +.Ar length +bytes of input. +.It Fl o +.Em Two-byte octal display. +Display the input offset in hexadecimal, followed by eight +space-separated, six column, zero-filled, two byte quantities of +input data, in octal, per line. +.It Fl s Ar offset +Skip +.Ar offset +bytes from the beginning of the input. +By default, +.Ar offset +is interpreted as a decimal number. +With a leading +.Cm 0x +or +.Cm 0X , +.Ar offset +is interpreted as a hexadecimal number, +otherwise, with a leading +.Cm 0 , +.Ar offset +is interpreted as an octal number. +Appending the character +.Cm b , +.Cm k , +or +.Cm m +to +.Ar offset +causes it to be interpreted as a multiple of +.Li 512 , +.Li 1024 , +or +.Li 1048576 , +respectively. +.It Fl v +The +.Fl v +option causes hexdump to display all input data. +Without the +.Fl v +option, any number of groups of output lines, which would be +identical to the immediately preceding group of output lines (except +for the input offsets), are replaced with a line comprised of a +single asterisk. +.It Fl x +.Em Two-byte hexadecimal display. +Display the input offset in hexadecimal, followed by eight, space +separated, four column, zero-filled, two-byte quantities of input +data, in hexadecimal, per line. +.El +.Pp +For each input file, +.Nm hexdump +sequentially copies the input to standard output, transforming the +data according to the format strings specified by the +.Fl e +and +.Fl f +options, in the order that they were specified. +.Ss Formats +A format string contains any number of format units, separated by +whitespace. +A format unit contains up to three items: an iteration count, a byte +count, and a format. +.Pp +The iteration count is an optional positive integer, which defaults to +one. +Each format is applied iteration count times. +.Pp +The byte count is an optional positive integer. +If specified it defines the number of bytes to be interpreted by +each iteration of the format. +.Pp +If an iteration count and/or a byte count is specified, a single slash +must be placed after the iteration count and/or before the byte count +to disambiguate them. +Any whitespace before or after the slash is ignored. +.Pp +The format is required and must be surrounded by double quote +(" ") marks. +It is interpreted as a fprintf-style format string (see +.Xr fprintf 3 ) , +with the +following exceptions: +.Bl -bullet -offset indent +.It +An asterisk (*) may not be used as a field width or precision. +.It +A byte count or field precision +.Em is +required for each ``s'' conversion +character (unlike the +.Xr fprintf 3 +default which prints the entire string if the precision is unspecified). +.It +The conversion characters ``h'', ``l'', ``n'', ``p'' and ``q'' are +not supported. +.It +The single character escape sequences +described in the C standard are supported: +.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact +.Bl -column <alert_character> +.It NUL \e0 +.It <alert character> \ea +.It <backspace> \eb +.It <form-feed> \ef +.It <newline> \en +.It <carriage return> \er +.It <tab> \et +.It <vertical tab> \ev +.El +.Ed +.El +.Pp +Hexdump also supports the the following additional conversion strings: +.Bl -tag -width Fl +.It Cm \&_a Ns Op Cm dox +Display the input offset, cumulative across input files, of the +next byte to be displayed. +The appended characters +.Cm d , +.Cm o , +and +.Cm x +specify the display base +as decimal, octal or hexadecimal respectively. +.It Cm \&_A Ns Op Cm dox +Identical to the +.Cm \&_a +conversion string except that it is only performed +once, when all of the input data has been processed. +.It Cm \&_c +Output characters in the default character set. +Nonprinting characters are displayed in three character, zero-padded +octal, except for those representable by standard escape notation +(see above), +which are displayed as two character strings. +.It Cm _p +Output characters in the default character set. +Nonprinting characters are displayed as a single +.Dq Cm \&. . +.It Cm _u +Output US ASCII characters, with the exception that control characters are +displayed using the following, lower-case, names. +Characters greater than 0xff, hexadecimal, are displayed as hexadecimal +strings. +.Bl -column \&000_nu \&001_so \&002_st \&003_et \&004_eo +.It \&000\ nul\t001\ soh\t002\ stx\t003\ etx\t004\ eot\t005\ enq +.It \&006\

"Xc,_Xc,_Xc,_Xc,_Xc,_Xc" -offset indent +.It Li \&%_c , \&%_p , \&%_u , \&%c +One byte counts only. +.It Xo +.Li \&%d , \&%i , \&%o , +.Li \&%u , \&%X , \&%x +.Xc +Four byte default, one, two and four byte counts supported. +.It Xo +.Li \&%E , \&%e , \&%f , +.Li \&%G , \&%g +.Xc +Eight byte default, four byte counts supported. +.El +.Pp +The amount of data interpreted by each format string is the sum of the +data required by each format unit, which is the iteration count times the +byte count, or the iteration count times the number of bytes required by +the format if the byte count is not specified. +.Pp +The input is manipulated in ``blocks'', where a block is defined as the +largest amount of data specified by any format string. +Format strings interpreting less than an input block's worth of data, +whose last format unit both interprets some number of bytes and does +not have a specified iteration count, have the iteration count +incremented until the entire input block has been processed or there +is not enough data remaining in the block to satisfy the format string. +.Pp +If, either as a result of user specification or hexdump modifying +the iteration count as described above, an iteration count is +greater than one, no trailing whitespace characters are output +during the last iteration. +.Pp +It is an error to specify a byte count as well as multiple conversion +characters or strings unless all but one of the conversion characters +or strings is +.Cm \&_a +or +.Cm \&_A . +.Pp +If, as a result of the specification of the +.Fl n +option or end-of-file being reached, input data only partially +satisfies a format string, the input block is zero-padded sufficiently +to display all available data (i.e. any format units overlapping the +end of data will display some number of the zero bytes). +.Pp +Further output by such format strings is replaced by an equivalent +number of spaces. +An equivalent number of spaces is defined as the number of spaces +output by an +.Cm s +conversion character with the same field width +and precision as the original conversion character or conversion +string but with any +.Dq Li \&+ , +.Dq \&\ \& , +.Dq Li \&# +conversion flag characters +removed, and referencing a NULL string. +.Pp +If no format strings are specified, the default display is equivalent +to specifying the +.Fl x +option. +.Pp +.Nm hexdump +exits 0 on success and >0 if an error occurred. +.Sh EXAMPLES +Display the input in perusal format: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +"%06.6_ao " 12/1 "%3_u " +"\et\et" "%_p " +"\en" +.Ed +.Pp +Implement
