It looks like this

Whereas od looks like this
0000000 0500 0716 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0500 0000 0200 0000
0000040 4d02 0000 15ef 0000 0300 0000 5600 0000
0000060 1600 0000 0400 0000 5501 0000 0000 0000
Ignoring the missing character view on the left, and the fact that the offsets
are in octal (never was too happy with octal), od -h also interprets the values
in the file as words whereas hexl-mode displays them bytewise. od can take
various options, none of which give it half the utility of hexl-mode or gitview,
which is the tool I was looking for (turn on brain : press g <TAB>, press y when
asked
There are 116 possibilities. Do you really wish to see them all? (y or n)
and then look through the list for something familiar. With a name like gitview,
it's no wonder I couldn't remember it :-) )
