2020-10-29replace the "write a floppy image" example with a more up to date one;Jason McIntyre
input/ok deraadt jca
2020-05-17Change install images called *.fs to *.img. These are UFS filesystem images,Theo de Raadt
but additionally have a bootblock in the first 8K (since UFS does not use that space). There are some UEFI direct-from-internet bootloaders that require the name *.img. So this makes things more convenient for those, while keeping it consistant in all architectures. ok kettenis beck kn

2020-02-14Do not mark up punctuation (equal signs), get rid of needless .Xo and .Sm,Ingo Schwarze

2019-02-16add fsync to STANDARDS;Jason McIntyre
2019-02-16Implement the conv=fsync feature which does an fsync(2) after theAlexander Bluhm
final write to output. GNU dd also has this. It is useful for write performance measurement or guaranteed writes to reliable storage. OK kn@ tedu@ deraadt@

2014-02-12tweak previous;Jason McIntyre
2014-02-12Add an operand to /bin/dd that suppresses the status lines printedAlexander Bluhm
to stderr after transfer. Use the GNU syntax status=noxfer and status=none to make dd quiet. The output is annoying in some situations, so people redirect stderr to /dev/null. This approach also suppresses the error messages and bugs in shell scripts remain undetected. The new feature status=none is the better alternative. OK mpf@
