Official Fedora package for 'xxd' command?

I need to use a script based upon xxd, but it's not installed on my Fedora 21:

$ xxd
bash: xxd: command not found

So I tried without success to search and install it:

$ yum install xxd
(fails)
$ yum search xxd
(fails)
$ yum search all xxd
(fails - detailed log below)
Loaded plugins: langpacks
================================================================= Matched: xxd ========
perl-Data-HexDump-XXD.noarch : Format hexadecimal dump like xxd
xxdiff.i686 : Graphical file and directories comparator and merge tool
xxdiff-tools.i686 : Tools for xxdiff
  • Do you know which package xxd is provided with? (I mean an official package to install with yum from the fedora repositories).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Solution

  • xxd is in the vim-common package.

    You can find that by using yum whatprovides '*bin/xxd'.
