Removing line numbers from `od`'s output

Question

Is there any flag to od to make it not output line numbers in the result?

It doesn't output line numbers (at least, none of my versions does). It starts each line with a byte offset into the file for that line. Is this what you want to remove? — roaima, Mar 27 '15 at 17:14

Assuming you mean the byte offset, from man od

   -A, --address-radix=RADIX
          output format for file offsets.  RADIX is  one  of  [doxn],  for
          Decimal, Octal, Hex or None

so for example od -An file

The leading space is kind of annoying, but works (had already upvoted you long ago). – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Jan 21 '17 at 12:14

Came here to upvote @CiroSantilliTRUMPBANISBAD. Boy is that space annoying - you mean you're gonna make me add a `| tr -d ' '` just to make this useful? Don't they know programmers are lazy! – Brian Feb 09 '21 at 20:28
