It's just a symlink to hexdump.

Ahhhh. Anyway, from the Debian man page:
-C, --canonical
Canonical hex+ASCII display. Display the input offset in hexa‐
decimal, followed by sixteen space-separated, two-column, hexa‐
decimal bytes, followed by the same sixteen bytes in %_p format
enclosed in '|' characters. Invoking the program as hd implies
this option.
Why on earth the default format of "hexdump" uses that weird 16-bit
little endian nonsense is beyond me.
