od utility is a filter which displays each specified
  file, or the standard input if no
  file arguments are specified, in a user specified
  format.
The options are as follows:
-A
    based’,
      ‘o’,
      ‘x’ or
      ‘n’, which specify decimal, octal,
      hexadecimal addresses or no address, respectively.-a-B-o.-b-c-d-e-F-e.-f-H-h-I-i-j
    skip0x or 0X,
      skip is interpreted as a hexadecimal number;
      otherwise, with a leading 0,
      skip is interpreted as an octal number. Appending
      the character b, k, or
      m to skip causes it to be
      interpreted as a multiple of 512,
      1024, or 1048576,
      respectively.-L-I.-l-I.-N
    length-O-o-t
    type_stringa selects US-ASCII output, with
        control characters replaced with their names instead of as C escape
        sequences. See also the _u conversion provided
        by hexdump(1).
c selects a standard character based
        conversion. See also the _c conversion provided
        by hexdump(1).
f selects the floating point output
        format. This type character can be optionally followed by the characters
        4 or F to specify four
        byte floating point output, or 8 or
        L to specify eight byte floating point output.
        The default output format is eight byte floats. See also the
        e conversion provided by
        hexdump(1).
d, o,
        u, or x select decimal,
        octal, unsigned decimal, or hex output respectively. These types can
        optionally be followed by C to specify
        char-sized output, S to
        specify short-sized output, I
        to specify int-sized output, L
        to specify long-sized output,
        1 to specify one-byte output,
        2 to specify two-byte output,
        4 to specify four-byte output, or
        8 to specify eight-byte output. The default
        output format is in four-byte quantities. See also the
        d, o,
        u, and x conversions
        provided by
      hexdump(1).
-v-v option causes od to
      display all input data. Without the -v option, any
      number of groups of output lines, which would be identical to the
      immediately preceding group of output lines (except for the input
      offsets), are replaced with a line comprised of a single asterisk
      (‘*’).-X-H.-x-h.For each input file, od sequentially
    copies the input to standard output, transforming the data according to the
    options given. If no options are specified, the default display is
    equivalent to specifying the -o option.
od utility exits 0 on success,
  and >0 if an error occurs.
od command appeared in
  Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
This man page was initially written in February 2001 by Andrew
    Brown, shortly after he augmented the deprecated od
    syntax to include things he felt had been missing for a long time.
