NAME
xd - hex, octal, decimal, or ASCII dump
SYNOPSIS
xd [ option ... ] [ -format ... ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Xd concatenates and dumps the files (standard input by default) in one
or more formats. Groups of 16 bytes are printed in each of the named
formats, one format per line. Each line of output is prefixed by its
address (byte offset) in the input file. The first line of output for
each group is zero-padded; subsequent are blank-padded.
Formats other than -c are specified by pairs of characters telling size
and style, by default. The sizes are
1 or b 1-byte units.
2 or w 2-byte big-endian units.
4 or l 4-byte big-endian units.
8 or v 8-byte big-endian units.
The styles are
o
Octal.
x
Hexadecimal.
d
Decimal.
Other options are
-c Format as 1x but print ASCII representations or C escape se‐
quences where possible.
-R Format as 1x but print Rune representations or C escape se‐
quences where possible.
-astyle Print file addresses in the given style (and size 4).
-u (Unbuffered) Flush the output buffer after each 16-byte se‐
quence.
-s Reverse (swab) the order of bytes in each group of 4 before
printing.
-r Print repeating groups of identical 16-byte sequences as the
first group followed by an asterisk.
