sdd is a replacement for dd(1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Much faster than dd in cases where input block size (ibs) is not equal
|
||
|
|
to the output block size (obs).
|
||
|
|
- sdd does not share the design bugs of dd that cause fragments to be
|
||
|
|
read from a pipe and filled up to input block size.
|
||
|
|
- Statistics are much better readable as from 'dd'.
|
||
|
|
- Timing available, -time option will print transfer speed
|
||
|
|
- Timing & Statistics available at any time with SIGQUIT (^\)
|
||
|
|
- Can seek on input and output
|
||
|
|
- Fast null input
|
||
|
|
- Fast null output
|
||
|
|
- Reblocking on pipes does not fill small input blocks to
|
||
|
|
input block size
|
||
|
|
- Debug printing
|
||
|
|
- Progress printing
