This is not a bug report but a question from a beginner concerning "od".
The "Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike uses od
on a directory ( Sec. 2.3). Linux's od rejects the request, saying
"Is a directory". Why will it not dump it? This is related to a more
general question. Their point was that "everything in Unix is a
file." Is this statement untrue in Linux?
