od -h same as od -x ????


Hya,

Last night, I figured out that the command (option) I have been using long long loooonng
Code:
od -h <file>
is not documented (man info and fsf.org)

I think (and hope) it is same as
Code:
od -x <file>
Does anybody know?

Happy Penguins

Looking at the source code:
Code:
case 'h': /* obsolescent and undocumented alias */
  CASE_OLD_ARG ('x', "x2");
so the answer is yes, it matches x or -t x2, hexadecimal 2-byte units.
