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