od(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities od(1)
u unsigned decimal. A one-digit number may follow u telling od how many
bytes to use. This must correspond to the size of a char, short, int,orlong.
The default size is the size of an int. A symbolic size character may follow
u, rather than the number of bytes. These have the following meaning:
C corresponds to number of bytes in a char
S corresponds to number of bytes in a short int
I corresponds to the number of bytes in an int
L corresponds to the number of bytes in a long int
x hexadecimal. A one-digit number may follow x telling od how many bytes
to use. This must correspond to the size of a char, short, int,orlong. The
default size is the size of an int. A symbolic size character may follow x,
rather than the number of bytes. These have the following meaning:
C corresponds to number of bytes in a char
S corresponds to number of bytes in a short int
I corresponds to the number of bytes in an int
L corresponds to the number of bytes in a long int
Multiple format characters can appear in one type_string and multiple –t options
may appear on the command line. If there is no –t option, the default is –t o2.
–v displays all lines. Normally, od does not display multiple lines that differ only in the
address. It displays the first line with a single * under it to show that any subsequent
lines are the same.
