- error out when an unknown specifier is used. Do this in f_msgfmt(),
before dd(1) starts operation.
- allow buffer_write() to flush the internal buffer even when NULL is
passed as parameter.
Some whitespace fixes too.
output of the information summary returned by dd(1). This can be used
to specify messages in a more usable (or parseable) format like
human-readable values.
My intent is to re-use this for building image files and quick I/O
benchmarking.

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).
outputting to the files being manipulated by opening a file in the standard IO
descriptor space. In particular, an output file unlucky enough to be sitting
on descriptor 2 (stderr) is certain to be corrupted.
Addresses PR bin/8521, and passes the recently committed regression test
"bin/dd".
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.
round has been tested on Solaris/x86 and Linux hosts.
* Add host tools cap_mkdb, ctags, m4, uudecode.
* Protect __RCSID() and __COPYRIGHT() better.
* Reduce the number of places that need to include "config.h", to keep
sources closer to their "vanilla" versions.
* Add more compat #defines and autoconf-checked functions.
