/FORMAT=option
Formats output in one of the following five ways:
DUMP Displays all control characters (including <HT>, <CR>,
and <LF>) and nonprintable characters as ANSI mnemonics.
NOFF Replaces control characters in text with ANSI mnemonics
(for example, Ctrl/C is replaced with <ETX>). The
terminal formatting characters <HT>, <CR>, <LF>, <VT>
are passed without change. Form feed characters are
replaced with <FF>.
NONULLS Same as DUMP, but removes all null characters from the
input file before reformatting. (In dump mode, the null
character is displayed as <NUL>.) NONULLS is convenient
when you are searching binary format files, such as EXE
or OBJ files, that generally contain many zero bytes.
PASSALL Moves control and nonprintable characters to the output
device without translating them. The terminal driver
cannot send 8-bit characters to the terminal unless SET
TERMINAL/EIGHT_BIT is already in effect.
You can use /FORMAT=PASSALL whenever you do not want
the SEARCH command to substitute the ANSI mnemonic for
control characters (for example, <BEL> for Ctrl/G).
TEXT Replaces control characters in text with ANSI mnemonics
(for example, Ctrl/C is replaced with <ETX>). The
terminal formatting characters <HT>, <CR>, <LF>, <VT>,
and <FF> are passed without change. TEXT is the default
format.
