## Name

DUMP — Formatted File Data Dump in Hexadecimal and ASCII

## Synopsis

`dump` [ `path` ]

## Description

This command produces a formatted display of the physical data contents of the path specified which may be a mass storage file or any other I/O device. If a pathlist is omitted, the standard input path is used. The output is written to standard output. This command is commonly used to examine the contents of non-text files.

The data is displayed 16 bytes per line in both hexadecimal and ASCII character format. Data bytes that have non-displayable values are represented by periods in the character area.

The addresses displayed on the dump are relative to the beginning of the file. Because memory modules are position-independent and stored on files exactly as they exist in memory, the addresses shown on the dump correspond to the relative load addresses of memory-module files.

## Examples

    DUMP              (display keyboard input in hex)
    DUMP myfile >/P   (dump myfile to printer)
    DUMP shortfile
