reopen 488473 !
thanks
Most of the new '-e' examples fail, since 'man hexdump' contains
several formatting typos:
man hexdump | grep '%' | tail -n 6 | sed -e 's/ *%//' > /tmp/bad_hxdp
set -x ; . /tmp/bad_hxdp ; set +x
+ . /tmp/bad_hxdp
++ hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X "'
++ echo hello
68 65 6C 6C 6F 0A ++ echo
++ hexdump -e '8/1 "%02X """" "' -e '8/1 "%c""0'
hexdump: "8/1 "%c""0": bad format
++ echo hello
++ hexdump -v -e '"x" 1/1 "%02X" " "'
++ echo hello
x68 x65 x6C x6C x6F x0A ++ echo
++ hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X0'
hexdump: "/1 "%02X0": bad format
++ echo hello
++ hexdump -v -e '/1 "%_ad# "' -e '/1 "%02X hex"' -e '/1 " =
%03i dec"' -e '/1 " = %03o oct"' -e '/1 " = _% c_0'
hexdump: "/1 " = _%c_0": bad format
++ echo hello
++ hexdump -v -e '/1 "%_ad# "' -e '/1 " _%_u_0'
hexdump: "/1 " _%_u_0": bad format
++ echo hello
+ set +x
Attached is a patch to correct these errors.
