od command to print all the values

Question

I am running the od command as od -b myfile to convert a file I have into image pixels. I need to see all the values but because they are too many the command prints the following:

0000000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
*
1130000

Is there any way to get all my values instead of just the first and the last?

You can use the -v option to suppress the duplicate lines. See also https://superuser.com/questions/494245/what-does-an-asterisk-mean-in-hexdump-output. — Edward, Jun 20 '19 at 14:03

Add the -v option: this tells od to output duplicate lines (which it normally suppresses). So

od -v -b myfile

will produce the output you’re after.
