Codes with the high bit set are displayed in inverse +video, using ANSI/VT\-100 escape sequences. +.sp +By default, the output is colorized: +.INDENT 0.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.INDENT 0.0 +.IP \(bu 2 +Normal characters are green. This includes alphanumerics, spaces, and +punctuation. +.IP \(bu 2 +Codes \fB$00\fP (null, or ATASCII heart) and \fB$9B\fP (EOL) are red. +.IP \(bu 2 +Control characters are yellow. This includes codes \fB$01\fP to \fB$1F\fP, +(control + letters, escape, punctuation, and arrow keys), \fB$60\fP, \fB$7B\fP, \fB$7D\fP +(clear screen), \fB$7E\fP (backspace), and \fB$7F\fP (tab). +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.sp +The colors and inverse rendering apply to both the ATASCII and hex bytes. +.sp +Without \fIinfile\fP, or if \fIinfile\fP is \fB\-\fP, \fBa8xd\fP reads from standard input. +.SH OPTIONS +.sp +Options marked with \fB*\fP are not yet implemented. +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-i +Print XL/XE International Character Set conversions instead of ATASCII. +.UNINDENT +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-l \fIlen\fP +Stop after dumping \fIlen\fP bytes. \fIlen\fP may be given in decimal or hex (with +leading \fI0x\fP or \fI$\fP). +.UNINDENT +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-m +Monochrome mode. Disables color, but ATASCII characters with the high bit +set are still displayed in inverse. +.TP +.B \-n +\fB*\fP Narrow dump mode. Displays 8 bytes per line. Maximum line length is +less than 40 columns. Use this if your terminal is less than 75 columns +wide. +.UNINDENT +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-o \fIoffset\fP +\fB*\fP Add \fIoffset\fP to displayed file position. \fIoffset\fP can be given in decimal +or hex (with leading \fI0x\fP or \fI$\fP). +.TP +.B \-s \fI[\-]seek\fP +\fB*\fP Start at \fIseek\fP bytes. Without \fI\-\fP, this is an absolute offset. With \fI\-\fP, +it\(aqs relative to the end of the file. The \fI\-\fP option won\(aqt work when +reading from standard input. \fIseek\fP may be given in decimal or hex +(with leading \fI0x\fP or \fI$\fP). +.UNINDENT +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-u +\fB*\fP Use uppercase letters; the default is lowercase. +.TP +.B \-v +Verbose.
