What do you mean "run it as hd"? I don't see any mention of it the hexdump manpage, and I don't have an "hd" in my path. Some commands alter their behavior based on argv[0], so I created an alias named "hd" that points to hexdump, but that doesn't do anything any different than "hexdump": $ which hexdump /usr/bin/hexdump $ ls -l $(which hd) lrwxrwxrwx 1 grante users 16 Aug 19 21:00 /home/grante/bin/hd -> /usr/bin/hexdump $ hd .bashrc | head -n2 0000000 2023 652f 6374 732f 656b 2f6c 622e 7361 0000010 7268 0a63 0a23 2023 6854 7369 6620 6c69 $ hexdump .bashrc | head -n2 0000000 2023 652f 6374 732f 656b 2f6c 622e 7361 0000010 7268 0a63 0a23 2023 6854 7369 6620 6c69 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
