hexdump does not dump in "Hex and ASCII"

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on February 24, 2007 12:29 AM
ASCII is a code for representing text in bits. In the hexdump example, the ASCII is the hexadecimal stuff on the left. What's on the right is the text that those bits represent if you assume the bits to be ASCII.

Hexdump display is hex and text.
