hexdump

Introduction

This short page contains the hexdump commands I want to keep at hand.

Byte-by-byte output, with input offset and ASCII representation

This is what the -C option is for:

hexdump -v -C input_file

Byte-by-byte output only

I use a format string for that (16 is the number of bytes per line):

hexdump -v -e '16/1 "%02x " "\n"' input_file
