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 than from 'dd'.
|
|
- rmt support for if= & of=
|
|
- Output file is sync'd before doing statistic report.
|
|
- Timing available, -time option will print transfer speed
|
|
- Timing & Statistics available at any time with SIGQUIT (^\)
|
|
- Can seek on input and output
|

|
|
input block size
