1. Hexdump according to DOS Debug output format The output consists of 3 columns. Each row contains up to 16 characters. The first column contains the address of the row (in 16-byte words). In the second column each byte is represented by its hexadecimal value (00 to FF), and in the third are the bytes as printable characters. Unlike od -c, hextype does not print unprintable chars with a two-character escape sequence. They are replaced by a dot. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
