dump -- display file contents in hex/ASCII (EXTERNAL) [v1.2] syntax: dump <pathname> [-a] [-h] [-o] [-s <start_pos>] [-e <end_pos>] ex: dump that.file dump ?:sys -o dump my.file -s$100 -e512 'dump' displays the contents of a file in hex and/or ASCII. Wildcards are allowed. -h display in hex -a display in ASCII If neither -h nor -a is given, the dump is in BOTH hex and ASCII. Non-printable characters in the ASCII dump are displayed as periods. Each line begins with an "offset" in hex from the beginning of the file (the first byte has offset 0). Use -o to stop the offsets from appearing. You can use the -s option to begin the dump somewhere other than the beginning of the file (offset 0), and you can use -e to end the dump somewhere other than the end of the file. Note: 'dump' is useful for looking at the exact contents of directories (both subdirectories and volume directories), not just for standard files. (This is no extra work for 'dump'; ProDOS simply allows directories to be opened and read the same way as other files.)
