HEXDUMP(3debug) 						   Library calls						   HEXDUMP(3debug)

NAME
       hexdump - dump binary data in hex/ascii format

LIBRARIES
       Debug Library (-ldebug)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <debug/log.h>
       #include <debug/hex.h>

       void hexdump(const void *ptr, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION
       hexdump() prints size bytes, starting at ptr in memory, using the debug log system.

       The output consists of 6 columns. The first column contains the address of the row (in bytes). Columns 2 to 5 contain the characters in the
       row represented as hexadecimal bytes. The last column contains the bytes as printable characters. If a character is  not  printable  it	is
       replaced by a dot.

NOTES
       None  of  the  libdebug	routines  are thread-safe. I'm not planning to change this either! For more information, please see http://thread-
