Manual diskdump:
NAME
diskdump - copy and cut file

SYNOPSIS
diskdump [-hvV] [-H size] [-n bytes] [-o offset] [file]

DESCRIPTION
Diskdump copies bytes bytes from file file to stdout starting at offset offset. By default, diskdump reads from stdin, starts at offset zero and continues until end-of-file is reached.

In contrast to dd(1), if offset is specified, diskdump positions the file offset by means of lseek(2). For large offsets, this decreases the access time significantly.

OPTIONS
-h
display some (more or less) helpful information and exit successfully

-v
increase verbosity level on stderr, flag may be repeatedly specified

-V
display version and compilation info and exit successfully

-H size
Write one hash mark per size bytes on stderr. Size must be either an integer or a combination of an integer and one of the units k, M or G.

-n bytes
copy only bytes bytes (default: until end-of-file)

-o offset
start reading at offset offset (default: 0)
