Depends on what you're trying to do. 'strings' will show you ascii
strings within the file. 'od' will dump the file - I often use 'od -bc'.

Output from "hexdump -C" is essentially the same as that from
"od -Ax -t x1z".

Apparently I was never bright enough to figure out and remember
all of the appropriate od options. I do seem to be able to
remember "hexdump -C". :)
