od
LL Corresponds to the number of bytes in a long long int
x Hexadecimal. A one-digit number can follow x, telling od how many
bytes to use. This must correspond to the size of a char (1 byte
character), a short (2 byte short), an int (4 byte integer), a long (4
byte long, which is currently the same as integer on z/OS), or a
long long (8 byte integer). The default size is the size of an int. A
symbolic size character can follow x, rather than the number of
bytes. These have the following meaning:
C Corresponds to number of bytes in a char
S Corresponds to number of bytes in a short int
I Corresponds to the number of bytes in an int
L Corresponds to the number of bytes in a long int
LL Corresponds to the number of bytes in a long long int
Multiple format characters can appear in one type_string and multiple –t
options can appear on the command line. If there is no –t option, the
default is –t oS.
Note: –t a is mutually exclusive with the file tag specific option, –T.
The second form of od is the historical (Berkeley Software Distribution)
implementation of the command. If you use this form, you can specify only a single
input file. If you do not give a file argument, od reads the standard input. You can
supply an offset, but you must precede it with a plus sign (+) to distinguish it from a
filename if no file is given. Giving an offset causes a seek to a position in the file
where output begins. If the offset ends in a period (.), od considers it to be
decimal; otherwise, od considers it octal. If you follow the offset with a b, od
multiplies it by the block size of 512 bytes. The format of the offset determines the
format of the address; that is, if it is interpreted as decimal, the addresses are
displayed in decimal.
Note: The od command does not work on a file whose filename starts with either a
digit or a plus (+) sign, unless the –A, –N, –j, or –t options are used.
The second form of od accepts the following options:
–b Bytes in octal
–c Bytes as characters
–D Unsigned decimal longs (4 bytes)
–d Unsigned decimal words (2 bytes)
–h Bytes in hexadecimal
–O Unsigned octal longs
–o Unsigned octal words
–S Signed decimal longs
–s Signed decimal words
–X Unsigned hexadecimal longs
–x Unsigned hexadecimal words
File Tag Specific Option
–T Enables automatic conversion (autoconversion) for tagged files. This option
is mutually exclusive with –t a.
For more information about autoconversion and file tagging, see z/OS UNIX System
Services Planning.
