Hi,
For lack of an ''xxd'' mailing list I will report a mistake in one of the
manpage examples, under the CAVEAT section, here.
The following is an excerpt from the CAVEAT section:
The following examples may help to clarify (or further confuse!)...
Hexdump from file position 0x480 (=1024+128) onwards. The `+' sign means
"relative to the current position", thus the `128' adds to the 1k where dd left
off.
% sh -c "dd of=plain_snippet bs=1k count=1; xxd -s +128 > hex_snippet" <
file
''dd'' reads stdin. xxd's stdin is connected to "file", so it is entirely
unaware of whether ''dd'' reads it all or not.
The case/scenario intended can be illustrated w/o the redirection ("< file").
Cheers,
Kwan Fong (klf)
