href="/w/index.php?title=DUMP_(CP/M_command)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="DUMP (CP/M command) (page does not exist)">DUMP</a> program would list a file 16 bytes per line with the hex offset at the start of the line and the ASCII equivalent of each byte at the end.<a href="#cite_note-DR_CPM22-3">[3]</a>: 1-41, 5-40–5-46  Bytes outside the standard range of printable ASCII characters (20 to 7E) would be displayed as a single period for visual alignment. This same format was used to display memory when invoking the D command in the standard CP/M <a href="/wiki/Debugger" title="Debugger">debugger</a> <a href="/wiki/DDT_(CP/M_command)" class="mw-redirect" title="DDT (CP/M command)">DDT</a>.<a href="#cite_note-DR_CPM22-3">[3]</a>: 4-5  Later incarnations of the format (e.g. in the DOS debugger <a href="/wiki/DEBUG_(DOS_command)" class="mw-redirect" title="DEBUG (DOS command)">DEBUG</a>) changed the space between the 8th and 9th byte to a dash, without changing the overall width. This notation has been retained in operating systems that were directly or indirectly derived from CP/M, including <a href="/wiki/DR-DOS" title="DR-DOS">DR-DOS</a>, <a href="/wiki/MS-DOS" title="MS-DOS">MS-DOS</a>/<a href="/wiki/PC_DOS" class="mw-redirect" title="PC DOS">PC DOS</a>, <a href="/wiki/OS/2" title="OS/2">OS/2</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windows" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows">Windows</a>. On Linux systems, the command hexcat produces this classic output format, too. The main reason for the design of this format is that it fits the maximum amount of data on a standard 80-character-wide screen or printer, while still being very easy to read and skim visually. <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-hexdump mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre>1234:0000: 57 69 6B 69 70 65 64 69 61 2C 20 74 68 65 20 66 Wikipedia, the f 1234:0010: 72 65 65 20 65 6E 63 79 63 6C 6F 70 65 64 69 61 ree encyclopedia 1234:0020: 20 74 68 61 74 20 61 6E 79 6F 6E 65 20 63 61 6E that anyone can 1234:0030: 20 65 64 69 74 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 edit........... </pre></div> Here the leftmost column represents the address at which the bytes represented by the following columns are located.
