.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIFmtdump\fR is a program that parses an \fInmh\fP format file and
produces a pseudo-language listing of the how \fInmh\fP interprets
the file.  This is useful when debugging a complicated format file.

The `\-format\ string' and `\-form\ formatfile' switches may be
used to specify a format string or format file to read.  The string
is simply a format string and the file is simply a format file.
See \fImh-format\fR\|(5) for the details.
