Dear Gurus

I am stuck with the peice of work and do not know from where to start.

I get a machine generated file which is binary file contain binary data, i want to read binary data as it is without converting into any other format.

i want to read byte by byte.

Please let me know what unix command will show the content of the binary file in binary format itself.

when i do cat file name then the output looks like below content

zð cH$zp b$zp c$zð b$zð c*$zp b*$zp c¢$zð b¢$zð cF«$zp%+*$zp%*¼$zð%*Á$zð

I want to see in the binary format and read byte by byte.

any help will be greatly appriciated
