od, printf: no base 2 binary output format yet


From: Dan Jacobson
Subject: od, printf: no base 2 binary output format yet

The od function, hexdump[GNU?], and perhaps even printf... allow one
to output in char, decimal, hex, octal... but not base 2 binary
[010101010] strings, a needed feature, especially for computer
education purposes.

want:
$ echo Van Jacobson|od --binary
... 0101 0110 ...
$ echo Dan Jacobson|od --binary
... 0100 0100 ...
[showing that I'm just 2/96 bits different than the Van dude.]
