A format unit contains up to three items: an iteration count, a byte count, and a format. +.sp +The iteration count is an optional positive integer, which defaults to one. Each format is applied iteration count times. +.sp +The byte count is an optional positive integer. If specified it defines the number of bytes to be interpreted by each iteration of the format. +.sp +If an iteration count and/or a byte count is specified, a single slash must be placed after the iteration count and/or before the byte count to disambiguate them. Any whitespace before or after the slash is ignored. +.sp +The format is required and must be surrounded by double quote (" ") marks.

Conditions, if present, are evaluated prior to highlighting. +.sp +\fB_L[color_unit_1,color_unit_2,...,color_unit_n]\fP +.sp +The full syntax of a color unit is as follows: +.sp +\fB[!]COLOR[:VALUE][@OFFSET_START[\-END]]\fP +.sp +\fB!\fP +.RS 4 +Negate the condition.

Please note that lone OFFSET_START uses the same value as END offset. +.RE +.SS "Counters" +.sp +The default and supported byte counts for the conversion characters are as follows: +.sp +\fB%_c\fP, \fB%_p\fP, \fB%_u\fP, \fB%c\fP +.RS 4 +One byte counts only. +.RE +.sp +\fB%d\fP, \fB%i\fP, \fB%o\fP, \fB%u\fP, \fB%X\fP, \fB%x\fP +.RS 4 +Four byte default, one, two and four byte counts supported. +.RE +.sp +\fB%E\fP, \fB%e\fP, \fB%f\fP, \fB%G\fP, \fB%g\fP +.RS 4 +Eight byte default, four byte counts supported. +.RE +.sp +The amount of data interpreted by each format string is the sum of the data required by each format unit, which is the iteration count times the byte count, or the iteration count times the number of bytes required by the format if the byte count is not specified. +.sp +The input is manipulated in \fIblocks\fP, where a block is defined as the largest amount of data specified by any format string. Format strings interpreting less than an input block\(cqs worth of data, whose last format unit both interprets some number of bytes and does not have a specified iteration count, have the iteration count incremented until the entire input block has been processed or there is not enough data remaining in the block to satisfy the format string. +.sp +If, either as a result of user specification or \fBhexdump\fP modifying the iteration count as described above, an iteration count is greater than one, no trailing whitespace characters are output during the last iteration. +.sp +It is an error to specify a byte count as well as multiple conversion characters or strings unless all but one of the conversion characters or strings is \fB_a\fP or \fB_A\fP. +.sp +If, as a result of the specification of the \fB\-n\fP option or end\-of\-file being reached, input data only partially satisfies a format string, the input block is zero\-padded sufficiently to display all available data (i.e., any format units overlapping the end of data will display some number of the zero bytes). +.sp +Further output by such format strings is replaced by an equivalent number of spaces. An equivalent number of spaces is defined as the number of spaces output by an \fBs\fP conversion character with the same field width and precision as the original conversion character or conversion string but with any \(aq\fB+\fP\(aq, \(aq \(aq, \(aq\fB#\fP\(aq conversion flag characters removed, and referencing a NULL string. +.sp +If no format strings are specified, the default display is very similar to the \fB\-x\fP output format (the \fB\-x\fP option causes more space to be used between format units than in the default output). +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +.sp +\fBhexdump\fP exits 0 on success and > 0 if an error occurred. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +.sp +The \fBhexdump\fP utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 ("POSIX.2") compatible. +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.sp +Display the input in perusal format: +.sp +.if n .RS 4 +.nf +.fam C + "%06.6_ao " 12/1 "%3_u " + "\(rst" "%_p " + "\(rsn" +.fam +.fi +.if n .RE +.sp +Implement the \fB\-x\fP option: +.sp +.if n .RS 4 +.nf +.fam C + "%07.7_Ax\(rsn" + "%07.7_ax " 8/2 "%04x " "\(rsn" +.fam +.fi +.if n .RE +.sp +MBR Boot Signature example: Highlight the addresses cyan and the bytes at offsets 510 and 511 green if their value is 0xAA55, red otherwise. +.sp +.if n .RS 4 +.nf +.fam C + "%07.7_Ax_L[cyan]\(rsn" + "%07.7_ax_L[cyan] " 8/2 " %04x_L[green:0xAA55@510\-511,!red:0xAA55@510\-511] " "\(rsn" +.fam +.fi +.if n .RE +.SH "COLORS" +.sp +Implicit coloring can be disabled by an empty file \fI/etc/terminal\-colors.d/hexdump.disable\fP. +.sp +See \fBterminal\-colors.d\fP(5) for more details about colorization configuration. +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +.sp +For bug reports, use the issue tracker at \c +.URL "https://github.com/karelzak/util\-linux/issues" "" "." +.SH "AVAILABILITY" +.sp +The \fBhexdump\fP command is part of the util\-linux package which can be downloaded from \c +.URL "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util\-linux/" "Linux Kernel Archive" "."
