DESCRIPTION

     Od dumps a file in one or more formats.  If file is missing,
     stdin  is  dumped.   The  offset argument tells od to skip a
     certain number of bytes  or  blocks  before  starting.   The
     offset is in octal bytes, unless it is followed by a '.' for
     decimal or b for blocks or both.
