By default, each line of output will start with an offset count, followed by 16 hexadecimal values, followed by 16 .Tn ASCII characters. .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fa ptr Pointer to the array of bytes to print. It does not need to be .Dv NUL Ns -terminated. .It Fa length Number of bytes to print. .It Fa hdr Pointer to a .Dv NUL Ns -terminated character string that will be prepended to each line of output. A value of .Dv NULL implies that no header will be printed. .It Fa flags Flags for controlling the formatting of the output. .Bl -tag -width ".Dv HD_OMIT_COUNT" .It Bits 0-7 Integer value of the number of bytes to display on each line. A value of 0 implies that the default value of 16 will be used. .It Bits 8-15 Character .Tn ASCII value to use as the separator for the hexadecimal output. A value of 0 implies that the default value of 32 .Tn ( ASCII space) will be used. .It Dv HD_OMIT_COUNT Do not print the offset column at the beginning of each line. .It Dv HD_OMIT_HEX Do not print the hexadecimal values on each line. .It Dv HD_OMIT_CHARS Do not print the character values on each line. .El .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ascii 7 .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Scott Long .
