man uafdump

NAME

  uafdump - file dump, hex and interpreted

SYNOPSIS

  uafdump
         -options input-file

DESCRIPTION

  The  uafdump  command  produces  a  hex and optional ascii or ebcdic
  interpreted dump of a file.  The file block  size  defaults  to  512
  bytes, but can be re-specfied.

OPTIONS

  -block size
          Default is 512 bytes.

  -first block
          Specify first block to display, count starts at 0.

  -last block
          Specify last block to display, default is end of file.

  -reverse
         Display  hex values left-to-right order.  This option is used
         for systems (such as VMS) which use low order bytes addressed
         first in integer representations.

  -under Display  interpreted  bytes  under  (beneath) hex values.  If
         neither -ascii or -ebcdic was  specified  the  interpretation
         defaults to ascii.  If both -ascii and -ebcdic were specified
         then -under is implied.  Note the default interpreted display
         requires a display greater than 80 columns (108 minimum).

         If  -under and -nohex are specified, display is comparable to
         -nohex except tab, newline, and escape characters ('\'  ascii
         and '^' ebcdic) are escaped.

  -short Display  only  16  bytes  per  line instead of 32.  This will
         allow interpreted display to fit on an 80 column screen.

  -pad fill
         Used to change the default pad  character  for  non-printable
         characters  in  interpretations.  Default is a question mark,
         '?'.

  -ascii Interpret bytes as ascii.  The default if  either  -under  or
         -pad is ascii.

  -ebcdic
         Interpret bytes as ebcdic.

  -nohex Do  not  show  hex  interpretation, implies ascii by default.
         Display will be 64 characters per line.

  -verbose
         Verbose option (displays final block & byte count).

  -?     Display terse help message.

EXAMPLES

  Example requesting only first two blocks of 64 byte length:

   java: uafdump ~/.profile -short -block 64 -last 1

   b=   0  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  8 9 a b c d e f 01234567 9abcdef

  Example requesting first 64 byte block with reverse display:

   java: uafdump ~/.profile -short -block 64 -last 0 -rev

    f e d c b a 9 8  7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 b=   0 01234567 9abcdef

NOTES

  The uafdump command has been tested under IBM/MVS, VAX/VMS,  Digital
  UNIX, IRIX, and UNICOS.  Suggestions for enhancements or bug reports
  can be directed to fnkac@uaf.edu.

  This command utilizes the cci command parser  utilized  by  non-UNIX
  operating  systems instead of the traditional UNIX getopt() parsing.
  Options have been defined to "look like" UNIX style options, but can
  be  spelled  out  or generally abbreviated.  For example '-o' is the
  same as '-output'.  Because of this multiple options must  be  space
  separated  and  the hyphen is part of the option name.  Also because
  of this order of options and arguments is irrelevant.
