The
.I file
argument specifies which file is to be dumped.
If no file argument is specified,
the standard input is used.
.PP
The offset argument specifies the offset
in the file where dumping is to commence.
This argument is normally interpreted
as octal bytes.
If `\fB.\fR' is appended, the offset is interpreted in
decimal.
If `\fBb\fR' is appended, the offset is interpreted in
blocks of 512 bytes.
If the file argument is omitted,
the offset argument must be preceded 
.RB ` + '.
.PP
Dumping continues until end-of-file.
