Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 9.0.14
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/hd.1.gz

We read

     If no format strings are specified, the default display is equivalent to 
specifying the -x option.

OK but also mention what the default is if there are no options at all
given, e.g.,

$ echo|gzip|hd
00000000  1f 8b 08 00 90 fd 43 5a  00 03 e3 02 00 93 06 d7  |......CZ........|
00000010  32 01 00 00 00                                    |2....|
00000015

Say how to get the same but by using -e:

$ echo|gzip|hd -e ..........
00000000  1f 8b 08 00 90 fd 43 5a  00 03 e3 02 00 93 06 d7  |......CZ........|
00000010  32 01 00 00 00                                    |2....|

the util-linux manpage for hexdump documents, under the -C option:
    Invoking the program as hd implies this option.

That's how.
