Is there a tool that displays the common 3-column hex editor output to standard out?

  • 772

I've been using od to display the contents of binary files in various formats. Often times I find myself bouncing between -x (hex output) and -c (ASCII output) at the same offsets, when I'd really like to see them side-by-side, like in a common hex editor. Are there any tools that print this style output, with similar options (skip, count, etc.) as od, to standard out?
