+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hexdump
+.Nd "dump a block of bytes to standard out in hexadecimal form"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In libutil.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn hexdump "void *ptr" "int length" "const char *hdr" "int flags"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn hexdump
+function prints an array of bytes to standard out in hexadecimal form,
+along with the
+.Tn ASCII
+representation of the bytes, if possible.
+By default, each line of
+output will start with an offset count, followed by 16 hexadecimal values,
+followed by 16
+.Tn ASCII
+characters.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fa ptr
+Pointer to the array of bytes to print.
+It does not need to be
+.Dv NUL Ns
+-terminated.
+.It Fa length
+Number of bytes to print.
+.It Fa hdr
+Pointer to a
+.Dv NUL Ns
+-terminated character string that will be prepended to each
+line of output.
+A value of
+.Dv NULL
+implies that no header will be printed.
+.It Fa flags
+Flags for controlling the formatting of the output.
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv HD_OMIT_COUNT"
+.It Bits 0-7
+Integer value of the number of bytes to display on each line.
+A value of 0 implies that the default value of 16 will be used.
+.It Bits 8-15
+Character
+.Tn ASCII
+value to use as the separator for the hexadecimal output.
+A value of 0 implies that the default value of 32
+.Tn ( ASCII
+space) will be used.
+.It Dv HD_OMIT_COUNT
+Do not print the offset column at the beginning of each line.
+.It Dv HD_OMIT_HEX
+Do not print the hexadecimal values on each line.
+.It Dv HD_OMIT_CHARS
+Do not print the character values on each line.
