       Read  one  or  more binary MDIO program files and output MDIO instructions on stdout.  These instructions
       are suitable as input to program mdioblock which outputs MDIO programs.  See the  mdioblock  manpage  for
       more information.

       This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit.  See the PLC man page for an overview and
       installation instructions.

       -s     Print summary information on stdout instead of MDIO instructions.

       -tphy_type
              Specify  the  PHY  chipset  that  this  MDIO  module will be used with.  The only supported option
              arguments are "ar8236"  and  "generic".   Argument  "ar8236"  indicates  that  the  MDIO  register
              instructions  are  Atheros  AR8236  specific.   The  AR8236  supports  special  MDIO registers and
              instructions in addition to generic MDIO registers and instructions.   The  default  is  "generic"
              which displays instructions as standard MDIO instructions.  This option and option -b are mutually
              exclusive.

       -v     Prints  additional  information  on stdout.  In particular, this option causes mdiodump to display
              every MDIO command present instead of just the simulation summary.

       -?,--help
              Displays program help information on stderr.  This option takes precedence over all other  options
              on the command line except version information.

       -!,--version
              Displays  program  version  information  on  stderr.   This option takes precedence over all other
              options on the command line except help information.  Use this option when sending screen dumps to
              Atheros technical staff.

       See the Qualcomm Atheros HomePlugAVFirmwareTechnicalReferenceManual for  information  about  generic
       MDIO  register instruction.  See the Qualcomm Atheros AR8236Six-PortFastEthernetSwitchDataSheet for
       detailed information about AR8236 specific MDIO registers and instructions.
