Description

i tried running termux-storage-get - | xxd to get a hexdump of a file on an external flash drive, and nothing was written to stdout or a file named "-" (hopefully it wasn't written anywhere else), but no error was returned

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation and command entry point for termux-storage-get, then reproduce termux-storage-get - | xxd with the external flash-drive input described here. Done means the - argument writes the retrieved bytes to stdout so that xxd receives them, without silently creating a file named -.
