Puzzled with hexdump, hd and ln

How to create a symbolic link to a command with certain argument?

When I man hexdump, it is said in the man page that "-C Canonical hex+ASCII display...Calling the command hd implies this option". Actually it is. hd equals to hexdump -C.

And then I examined the ln command but find it is a symbolic link to hexdump, just like this: /usr/bin/hd -> hexdump.

But I failed to make such a symbolic link like this. I tried: ln -s "/bin/ls -al" myls. But it didn't work.

I wonder how to make a symbolic link to a command with certain argument.

Thanks.

Reverse hexdump without xxd

The "hexdump" command cannot perform reverse operation. On the other hand, the "xxd" command with -r option performs reverse hexdump, while the "xxd" command without -r performs the (forward) hexdump.
