title: hexdump and reading binary files to text
body: <p>Could someone tell me what the fraction for the hexdump command in linux means</p>
  
  <pre><code> hexdump -v -e '7/4 "%010u "' -e '"\n"' binary-file-name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I believe it tells hexdump when to stop reading the binary file and start another line? im unsure and i couldnt see an obvious answer in the hexdump manual</p>
