DUMP Formatted File Data Dump in Hexadecimal and ASCII dump -h -m -x path 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. 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. 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. -h prevent dump from printing its header every 256 bytes -m names on the command line are modules in memory -x names on the command line are files relative to the execution directory dump (display keyboard input in hex) dump myfile >/p (dump myfile to printer) dump -m kernel (dump the kernel module in memory) Address 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0 2 4 6 8 A C E -------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------------- 00000000 87CD 0038 002A P181 2800 2E00 3103 FFE0 .M.8.*q.(...1..' 00000010 0418 0000 0100 0101 0001 1808 180D 1B04 ................ 00000020 0117 0311 0807 1500 002A 5445 S2CD 5343 .........*TERMSC 00000030 C641 4349 C10E 529E FACIA.R. ^ ^ ^ starting data bytes in hexadecimal data bytes in address format ASCII format
