DUMP
Formatted File Data Dump in Hexadecimal and ASCII
DUMP
&replstart;path&replend;
Description
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.
Examples

DUMP myfile >/P (dump myfile to printer)
