According to v2.37-ReleaseNotes: Release highlights ------------------ [...] hexdump(1) automatically uses -C when called as "hd". [...] Changes between v2.36 and v2.37 ------------------------------- [...] hexdump: - add "hd" program name to man page [Chris Hofstaedtler] - automatically use -C when called as hd [Chris Hofstaedtler] [...] The hd program name is also documented in the hexdump(1) manpage, which says for the -C, --canonical option: "Invoking the program as hd implies this option." I suggest to install a /usr/bin/hd -> hexdump symlink. According to pfl this shouldn't cause any collisions. Alternatively, text-utils/hexdump.1.adoc should be patched so that it doesn't mention hd.
