Hexdump is software that enables the dumping of hexadecimal data and has the ability to manage EBCDIC.
What sparked the development of this hex dumper was the unappealing od octal format that was commonly used, and the fact that od -x was not much better. The creator also needed a tool to dump EBCDIC files from SNA sessions and single blocks of files offset into the file. If any of these tasks sound familiar to you, then you'll definitely appreciate hexdump.
The output format is similar to that of a CP/M or MS/DOS DEBUG dump screen. What's unique about this software is that there is nothing UNIX-specific in the source, which means it should work flawlessly under any C with a stdio.h library.
In terms of updates, the latest release includes improvements for Source RPMs, which no longer rely on --define myversion. Overall, hexdump is an impressive and reliable hex dumper that assists users in converting raw data into a human-readable format.
