I personally prefer "od -tx1 -a test.c": it should add ASCII versions
of each character, to make it faster to find particular positions.

Being ultra-precise: type
     od -tx1

at a command line, and then press enter.  That will start the "octal
dump" program.  The quote mark (meaning ") and enter is the one line
of input.
