I've adjusted things a bit in the attached patch, and the result can be seen in the attached pdf generated with: man -t man/od.1 | ps2pdf - > od.pdf Note since people like examples, as part of this I've added an EXAMPLES section, that shows how to output a hexdump with od. thanks, P=E1draig. --------------040507060204000801010604 Content-Type: text/x-patch; name="od-help.diff" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="od-help.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >From 4ecd55692804867e6dca19b4c317565c8d5e44b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?P=C3=A1draig=20Brady?= Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 04:14:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: improve od --help and man page * src/od.c: Redorder the information output by --help to ease interpretation and so that appropriate sections are generated by help2man. * doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Fix an incorrect reference to @var{n}, which should be @var{bytes}. * man/od.x: Add an "Examples" section, and move the default od format to there, and add a commonly required format to generate hexdumps.
