I have xxd on my FreeBSD setup. uname -rms FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p19 amd64 Although the xxd man page doesn't have the BSD label, and is from 1996, so I'm not sure if xxd only recently found its way into FBSD. This manual page documents xxd version 1.7 AUTHOR (c) 1990-1997 by Juergen Weigert

It maybe in ports, but it's not part of the base install: $ xxd xxd: Command not found. $ uname -rms FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64 edit: fixed typo where I put xdd instead of xxd

    Sorry, that was a typo when posting on here. I did originally run it as xxd: root@primus:/usr/ports # xxd xxd: Command not found. edit: It doesn't show up in my ports either: root@primus:/usr/ports # make search name=xxd Port: textproc/xxdiff Moved: Date: 2013-07-26 Reason: Has expired: Depends on Qt 3.x Port: textproc/xxdiff-scripts Moved: Date: 2013-07-26 Reason: Has expired: Depends on Qt 3.x Obviously xxdiff is a different (if you pardon the pun) utility, but xxd should show up in that list also. edit 2: Another comment on here might explain why you're seeing xxd and I'm not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6360814 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6360814 (it's not a separate utility, it's part of vim) Since I didn't install vim on that box (just use basic vi), xxd wouldn't have installed as part of it. Where as in a jail on the same box, xxd does exist: root@primus:/usr/ports # which vim xxd vim: Command not found. xxd: Command not found. root@primus:/usr/ports # jexec 1 which vim xxd /usr/local/bin/vim /usr/local/bin/xxd

      $ whereis xxd xxd: /usr/local/bin/xxd /usr/local/man/man1/xxd.1.gz I don't see xxd anywhere in my ports tree. Haha... What a trip. This is the sort of thing that I'll end up wasting half a day trying to get an answer to.

        You wont see it in your ports tree because it's part of vim: $ grep xxd /usr/ports/editors/vim/pkg-plist bin/xxd

  I didn't add xxd on my local FBSD (installed last night) setup, and my remote FBSD shell has xxd installed by default... $ uname -rms FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p7 amd64 $ xxd -v xxd V1.10 27oct98 by Juergen Weigert Perhaps different builds have different things included?

    No, it installs as part of vim: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6361210 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6361210

      http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Improved_hex_editing http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Improved_hex_editing You're right, xxd is included with vim, but as an external program. Vim provides this capability through the external program xxd, which is included by default in standard distributions of Vim. My pedantic nature was hung up on the release dates of the respective programs, as xxd predates vim on Unix.
