Isn't hexdump the modern punk upstart.

In my day we had to use od, and were happy to have it, now get off my lawn.

Full disclosure, I am one of those "modern punk kids" but my first boss was firmly in the od generation. and all his documentation referenced it as such. hexdump is ergonomic heaven in comparison.
