the same, but I was curious to know what all the options do:
SYNOPSIS
od [-aBbcDdeFfHhIiLlOovXx] [[+]offset[.][Bb]] file
I came across something that recommended using piping output through od -c
to look for \0 strings. I'm quite happy to use hexdump(1), but how do I tell
what the corresponding option is? I've never used od(1) before and I don't
know what the -c argument does.
I should have included this before, but I'm using FreeBSD 3.4.
regards,
peter lowe.
