 | | DD(1) DD(1) NAME dd - convert and copy a file SYNOPSIS dd[--help][--version][if=file][of=file][ibs=bytes] [obs=bytes][bs=bytes][cbs=bytes][skip=blocks] [seek=blocks][count=blocks][conv={ascii,ebcdic,ibm, block,unblock,lcase,ucase,swab,noerror,notrunc, sync}] DESCRIPTION dd copies a file (from standard input to standard output, by default) using specific input and output blocksizes, while optionally performing conversions on it. |
 | | It reads the input one block at a time, using the speci fied input block size (the default is 512 bytes). |
 | | BUGS Commands like `dd if=myfile of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k seek=172' fail on some systems because dd tries to truncate the out put file, but truncation of a block device is not possi ble. |
