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.
