>Description:
IEEE 1003.2-1992 gives od(1) the following synopsis:

od [-v] [-A address_base] [-j skip] [-N count] [-t type_string] ... [file ...]

Our od(1) doesn't support this syntax at all.

>How-To-Repeat:
cromarty:~$ od -v -A x -j 0 -N 1024 -t c
od: illegal option -- A
od: od(1) has been deprecated for hexdump(1).
hexdump: [-bcCdovx] [-e fmt] [-f fmt_file] [-n length] [-s skip] [file ...]
