Official Fedora package for 'xxd' command?

Tags:

I need to use a script based upon xxd, but it's not installed on my Fedora 21:

$ xxd bash: xxd: command not found 

So I tried without success to search and install it:

$ yum install xxd (fails) $ yum search xxd (fails) $ yum search all xxd (fails - detailed log below) Loaded plugins: langpacks ================================================================= Matched: xxd ======== perl-Data-HexDump-XXD.noarch : Format hexadecimal dump like xxd xxdiff.i686 : Graphical file and directories comparator and merge tool xxdiff-tools.i686 : Tools for xxdiff 
  • Do you know which package xxd is provided with? (I mean an official package to install with yum from the fedora repositories).

Thanks in advance for any help!

What is xxd binary?

Description. xxd creates a hex dump of a given file or standard input. It can also convert a hex dump back to its original binary form. Like uuencode(1) and uudecode(1) it allows the transmission of binary data in a 'mail-safe' ASCII representation, but has the advantage of decoding to standard output.
