An OFFSET operand means \fB\-j\fR OFFSET. LABEL is the pseudo\-address at first byte printed, incremented when dump is progressing. For OFFSET and LABEL, a 0x or 0X prefix indicates hexadecimal; suffixes may be . for octal and b for multiply by 512. .PP TYPE is made up of one or more of these specifications: .TP a named character, ignoring high\-order bit .TP c Cheers!
