    <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:
    </p>

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

    <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>
