    </div>

        <a id="offsetspec"></a>
        <h2>OFFSET</h2>

            <p>Offsets are calculated relative to the base message, before any
            injections or other transforms are applied. They have 3 flavors:</p>

            <ul>
                <li>An integer byte offset </li> 
                <li><b>r</b> for a random location</li> 
                <li><b>a</b> for the end of the message</li> 
            </ul>

        <a id="valuespec"></a>
        <h2>VALUE</h2>

        <h3>Literals</h3>

        <p>Literal values are specified as a quoted strings: </p>

        <pre class="example">"foo"</pre>

        <p>Either single or double quotes are accepted, and quotes can be escaped with
        backslashes within the string:</p>

        <pre class="example">'fo\'o'</pre>

        <p>Literal values can contain Python-style backslash escape sequences:</p>

        <pre class="example">'foo\r\nbar'</pre>


        <h3>Files</h3>

        <p>You can load a value from a specified file path. To do so, you have to specify
        a _staticdir_ option to pathod on the command-line, like so: </p>

        <pre class="example">pathod -d ~/myassets</pre>

        <p>All paths are relative paths under this directory. File loads are indicated by
        starting the value specifier with the left angle bracket:
            
        <pre class="example">&lt;my/path</pre></p>

        <p>The path value can also be a quoted string, with the same syntax as literals:</p>

        <pre class="example">&lt;"my/path"</pre>


        <h3>Generated values</h3>

        <p>An @-symbol lead-in specifies that generated data should be used. There are two
        components to a generator specification - a size, and a data type. By default
        pathod assumes a data type of "bytes". </p>

        <p>Here's a value specifier for generating 100 bytes:
            
        <pre class="example">@100</pre></p>

        <p>You can use standard suffixes to indicate larger values. Here, for instance, is
        a specifier for generating 100 megabytes:</p>

        <pre class="example">@100m</pre>

        <p>Data is generated and served efficiently - if you really want to send a
        terabyte of data to a client, pathod can do it. The supported suffixes are:</p>


        <table class="table table-bordered">
            <tbody >
                <tr>
                    <td>b</td> <td>1024**0 (bytes)</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>k</td> <td>1024**1 (kilobytes)</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>m</td> <td>1024**2 (megabytes)</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>g</td> <td>1024**3 (gigabytes)</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>t</td> <td>1024**4 (terabytes)</td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>

        <p>Data types are separated from the size specification by a comma. This
        specification generates 100mb of ASCII:</p>

        <pre class="example">@100m,ascii</pre>

        <p>Supported data types are:</p>

        <table class="table table-bordered">
            <tbody >
                <tr>
