Personally, I wouldn't go that far. Its output is ambiguous, e.g. ^X can represent a control character or two literal characters. If you really, really want to know what you're looking at, vis is a better choice (or od, hexdump, etc).
Also, due to its ambiguous nature, cat -v is a one way conversion. vis has the advantage of being revertable, allowing one to pipe data with problematic bytes through utilities which expect a text file, work with the data, then revert back to the original unencoded form (modulo any edits).
Yes, I'm aware that I'm being nitpicky
. I'm sure cat -v is good enough most of the time.

hpls(1) General Commands Manual hpls(1)
NAME
hpls -- list the contents of a directory on an HFS+ volume
SYNOPSIS
hpls [options] [hfs-path ...]
Description
hpls is used to list files and directories on an HFS+ volume. If one or more arguments are given, each file or directory is shown; other-
wise, the contents of the current working directory are displayed.
Options
-1 Each entry appears on a line by itself. This is the default if standard output is not a terminal.
-a All entries are shown, including "invisible" files. The default is to omit invisible files.
-c Sort and display entries by their creation date, rather than their modification date.
-d List directory entries themselves rather than their contents. Normally the contents are shown for named directories on the com-
mand-line.
-i Show the catalogue ID for each entry. Every file and directory on an HFS+ volume has a unique catalogue ID.
-l Display entries in long format. This format shows the entry type ("d" for directory, "f" for file, "F" for locked file), flags
("i" for invisible), type and creator (four-character strings) for files only, size (number of items in a directory or resource
and data bytes of a file, respectively), date of last modification (or creation if the -c flag is given), and name.
-m Display entries in a continuous format separated by commas.
-q Replace special and non-printable characters in displayed filenames with question marks (?). This is the default when standard
output is a terminal.
-r Sort entries in reverse order before displaying.
-s Show the file size for each entry in 1K block units. The size includes blocks used for both data and resource forks.
-t Sort and display entries by time. Normally files will be sorted by name. This option uses the last modification date to sort
unless -c is also specified.
-x Display entries in column format like -C, but sorted horizontally into rows rather than columns.
-w width Format output lines suitable for display in the given width. Normally the width will be determined from your terminal, from the
environment variable COLUMNS, or from a default value of 80.
-C Display entries in column format with entries sorted vertically. This is the default output format when standard output is a
terminal.
-F Cause certain output filenames to be followed by a single-character flag indicating the nature of the entry; directories are fol-
lowed by a slash "/" and executable Macintosh applications are followed by an asterisk "*".
-N Cause all filenames to be output verbatim without question-mark substitution.
-R For each directory that is encountered in a listing, recursively descend into and display its contents.
