I like an end-of-dump marker for folks who want to check if the dump got
truncated somehow. I can see how to do that for text dumps, but what

Wouldn't it be more effective to test for non zero return status as this
handles -Fc cases, etc, which would be non-trivial t

Sure --- while you're at it, put a "beginning of dump" at the start.

This might seem a bit silly, but is there any chance we could add a
