32--  A routine for dumping memory to either standard output or standard error.

46   --  Dumps indicated number (Count) of bytes, starting at the address given
47   --  by Addr. The coding of this routine in its current form assumes the case
48   --  of a byte addressable machine (and is therefore inapplicable to machines
49   --  where the storage unit is not 8 bits). The output is one or more lines
50   --  in the following format, which is for the case of 32-bit addresses
51   --  (64-bit addresses are handled appropriately):
52   --
53   --    0234_3368: 66 67 68 . . .  73 74 75 "fghijklmnopqstuv"

64   --  above version, each line starting with the absolute address of the
65   --  first dumped storage element.
66   --
67   --  If Prefix is set to Offset, then instead each line starts with the
68   --  indication of the offset relative to Addr:
69   --
70   --    00: 66 67 68 . . .  73 74 75 "fghijklmnopqstuv"
