18 This command produces a formatted display of the physical data
19 contents of the path specified which may be a mass storage file or
20 any other I/O device. If a pathlist is omitted, the standard input
21 path is used. The output is written to standard output. This command is
22 commonly used to examine the contents of non-text files.
23 </para>
24 <para>
25 The data is displayed 16 bytes per line in both hexadecimal and
26 ASCII character format. Data bytes that have non-displayable values
27 are represented by periods in the character area.
28 </para>
29 <para>
30 The addresses displayed on the dump are relative to the beginning of
31 the file. Because memory modules are position-independent and stored
32 on files exactly as they exist in memory, the addresses shown on the
33 dump correspond to the relative load addresses of memory-module
34 files.
