Parameter RANGE for -i and -x can be given as one integer or a pair of
integers delimited by minus sign (-). Integers can be specified in
decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or octal (0...) format. One integer of a
pair can be missing (-N can be used to specify all characters with
codes less or equal to N, and N- for all characters with codes greather
or equal to N). Multiple -i and -x options can be used.
