B<Text2pcap> understands a hexdump of the form generated by I<od -Ax
-tx1 -v>. In other words, each byte is individually displayed, with
-spaces separating the bytes from each other. Each line begins with an
-offset describing the position in the file, with a space separating it
-from the following bytes. The offset is a hex number (can also be octal
-or decimal - see B<-o>), of more than two hex digits. Here is a sample
-dump that B<text2pcap> can recognize:
