+Displays data in various human-readable formats. If multiple formats are
+specified, the output will contain all formats in the order they appear on the
+commandline. Each format will be printed on a new line. Only the line
+containing the first format will be prefixed with the offset.
+
+If no filename is specified, or it is "-", stdin will be used. After a "--", no
+more options will be recognised. This allows for filenames starting with a "-".
+
+If a filename is a valid number which can be used as an offset in the second
+form, you can force it to be recognised as a filename if you include an option
+like "-j0", which is only valid in the first form.
+
+RADIX is one of o,d,x,n for octal, decimal, hexadecimal or none.
+
+BYTES is decimal by default, octal if prefixed with a "0", or hexadecimal if
+prefixed with "0x". The suffixes b, KB, K, MB, M, GB, G, will multiply the
+number with 512, 1000, 1024, 1000^2, 1024^2, 1000^3, 1024^3, 1000^2, 1024^2.
+
+OFFSET and LABEL are octal by default, hexadecimal if prefixed with "0x" or
+decimal if a "." suffix is added. The "b" suffix will multiply with 512.
+
+TYPE contains one or more format specifications consisting of:
+    a       for printable 7-bits ASCII
+    c       for utf-8 characters or octal for undefined characters
+    d[SIZE] for signed decimal
+    f[SIZE] for floating point
+    o[SIZE] for octal
+    u[SIZE] for unsigned decimal
+    x[SIZE] for hexadecimal
+SIZE is the number of bytes which can be the number 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16,
+    or C, I, S, L for 1, 2, 4, 8 bytes for integer types,
+    or F, D, L for 4, 8, 16 bytes for floating point.
+Any type specification can have a "z" suffic, which will add a ASCII dump at
+    the end of the line.
+
+If an error occurred, a diagnostic message will be printed to stderr, and the
+exitcode will be non-zero."#;
