Aliases
You can use one of the following aliases to indicate a format and byte size combination:
| To display output as: | Use: | Instead of: |
|---|---|---|
| octal 1-byte | -b | -t o1 |
| char | -c | -t c |
| unsigned 2-byte | -d | -t u2 |
| octal 2-byte | -o | -t o2 |
| double 2-byte | -s | -t d2 |
| hex 2-byte | -x | -t x2 |
