diskdump

[-H

[file]
DESCRIPTION
Diskdump
copies
bytes
bytes from file
file
to
stdout

offset.
By default,
diskdump
reads from
stdin,
starts at offset zero and continues until end-of-file is reached.

positions the file offset by means of
lseek(2).
For large offsets, this decreases the access time significantly.
