Is `hexdump` not `xxd`?
3 comments

`hexdump` is part of util-linux, `xxd` is not. They do the same thing though, up to formatting differences.
And on Debian it's called `hd`.
xxd is part of vim IIRC.
Yep:

  $ apt-cache show xxd | grep Source:
  Source: vim (2:8.0.1453-1)
  Source: vim
Oh I must've misunderstood what you meant by "part of" vim.
