`hexdump {{path/to/file}}`

- Display the input offset in hexadecimal and its ASCII representation in two columns:

`hexdump {{[-C|--canonical]}} {{path/to/file}}`

- Display the hexadecimal representation of a file, but interpret only n bytes of the input:

`hexdump {{[-C|--canonical]}} {{[-n|--length]}} {{number_of_bytes}} {{path/to/file}}`

`hexdump {{[-v|--no-squeezing]}} {{path/to/file}}`
