A.3.4. Other Options
--------------------

   The `-e' option skips a header on the file, by ignoring the first N
bytes. This means that the header is _not_ counted towards the
disassembly offset: if you give `-e10 -o10', disassembly will start at
byte 10 in the file, and this will be given offset 10, not 20.

   The `-k' option is provided with two comma-separated numeric
arguments, the first of which is an assembly offset and the second is a
number of bytes to skip. This _will_ count the skipped bytes towards
the assembly offset: its use is to suppress disassembly of a data
section which wouldn't contain anything you wanted to see anyway.
