   I think that the real answer for this question is: od

   Info from the man pages…

   od – dump files in octal and other formats

   DESCRIPTION
   Write an unambiguous representation, octal bytes by default, of FILE to standard output. With more than one FILE argument, concatenate them in
   the listed order to form the input. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

   the standard input, if no files are specified, in a user specified for-
   mat.
