9.2 Dump that file!

A dump utility is designed to peer into a file’s data. Well, a file dump utility. This detail is something that the operating system doesn’t supply at a glance. No, you can tell a file’s name, size, and date from a directory listing. The file type is based on the filename extension, so it could be misleading. No, the only way to peer into a file and examine its brooding data is to dump.

The Linux hexdump utility performs the file dumping task quite well. So, this chapter is over.

Seriously, using the utility doesn’t help you learn how to write your own file utilities, customized the way you like. I call this new utility dumpfile. It works like hexdump, but it works the way I like it to.
