+many programs that output hex bytes (e.g. 'hexdump \-C') have a running
+count (or index) in the first column of each line. This option ignores the
+first hexadecimal value on each line. This option has no effect if
+\fI\-\-binary=BFN\fR or \fI\-\-nospace\fR are given. Blank lines and any

Do not decode the given data as sense or a cdb. Useful when arbitrary data
is given (e.g. when converting hex to binary or vice versa).
