NAME
       od  -  octal dump

SYNOPSIS
       od [ -bcdox ] [ file ] [ [ + ]offset[ . ][ b ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       Od  dumps file in one or more formats as selected by the first argument.  If the first argument is missing, -o is default.  The meanings of
       the format argument characters are:

       b  Interpret bytes in octal.

       c  Interpret bytes in ASCII.  Certain  non-graphic  characters  appear  as  C  escapes:	null=,  backspace=,  formfeed=f,  newline=
,
	  return=
, tab=	; others appear as 3-digit octal numbers.

       d  Interpret words in decimal.

       o  Interpret words in octal.

       x  Interpret words in hex.

       The file argument specifies which file is to be dumped.	If no file argument is specified, the standard input is used.

       The  offset  argument specifies the offset in the file where dumping is to commence.  This argument is normally interpreted as octal bytes.
       If `.' is appended, the offset is interpreted in decimal.  If `b' is appended, the offset is interpreted in blocks of 512  bytes.   If  the
       file argument is omitted, the offset argument must be preceded `+'.

       Dumping continues until end-of-file.
