22 \fIFmtdump\fR is a program that parses an \fInmh\fP format file and
23 produces a pseudo-language listing of the how \fInmh\fP interprets
24 the file. This is useful when debugging a complicated format file.
26 The `\-format\ string' and `\-form\ formatfile' switches may be
27 used to specify a format string or format file to read. The string
28 is simply a format string and the file is simply a format file.
29 See \fImh-format\fR\|(5) for the details.
