Subject | Dump a database in hex! |

Yes, I know the subject is a bit weird, but I do have a purpose.
At the moment I'm using hexdump (on Linux) to dump some database pages
and decoding the hex values and offsets into page descriptions. It's
hard work and I discovered a utility in the source code -
<blah>/jrd/dmp.cpp which looks remarkably like it could help me in my
task.
I cannot find a 'main' function nor any instructions on building this
potentially useful utility. Does anyone have any clues please? I'd much
rather use a prewritten and probably bug free utility than write my own
- at present.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Norman.
PS. If I'm on the wrong list, apologies and please ignore. Ta.
