It’s written in a very stdio-dependent vanilla C style.

Have a look at the source for yourself. It’s part of the “vim” package on 
Debian and no doubt other distros. The xxd binary itself is built from a 
single source file of just some 1200 lines, and the hex-to-binary 
conversion is done in a function called “huntype” of just 133 lines.
