how to perform a hexdump using dd from start point to end point

hi,

I would like to ask or is it possible to dump a hex using dd from starting point to end point just like the "xxd -s 512 -l 512 <bin file>"

I know the redirect hexdump -C but i can't figure it out the combination options of dd.

Hope someone can share their knowledge..

Thanks in advance

You don't need dd to do that:

man hexdump

Code:

    -n length  Interpret only length bytes of input.

    -s offset  Skip offset bytes from the beginning of the input.  By

                default, offset is interpreted as a decimal number.  With a

                leading 0x or 0X, offset is interpreted as a hexadecimal num-

                ber, otherwise, with a leading 0, offset is interpreted as an

                octal number.  Appending the character b, k, or m to offset

                causes it to be interpreted as a multiple of 512, 1024, or

                1048576, respectively.
