"if" and "of" with the exception that the communicate with a rump
kernel instead of the host kernel.
For example, to write stdout to /tmp/file.txt in a rump kernel namespace:
dd rof=/tmp/file.txt
copy /file1 to /file2 inside a rump kernel:
dd rif=/file1 rof=/file2
copy a snippet from /dev/rmd0d on the rump kernel to the host fs:
dd rif=/dev/rmd0d of=save seek=1000 count=3
Eat that, usermode OS.
(I'll document the operands one I have some manpage to refer to
for rump client use).
If stdout is a tty, use vis(3) to print any filenames to prevent garbage
from being printed if the filename contains control- or other non-printable
characters.
While here, sprinkle some EXIT_FAILURE and NOTREACHED where appropriate.
- Add strsuftoull(), which parses a number into a u_longlong_t, with
multiplication support, and support for 'g' (GB) and 't' (TB) suffices.
If an error occurs, print to stderr and exit.
Based on get_blk() from args.c and strsufto*() (in other programs)
- Add strsuftoullx(), which acts as per strsuftoull() but returns the
error in the supplied buffer instead (if the returned buffer != "", an
error occurred)
- Replace get_bsz() use with strsuftoull()
- Remove (now) unnecessary argument validation
- Remove unused {f,p,s,t}_stats fields in struct IO
(1) It won't compile, and (2) there's code in dd.c which actually
does modify (some, all, used?) conversion tables, so they can't _all_ be
const (if any can).
