74f13fb3b6 Bump .Dd for r187609 2009-01-30 16:23:57 +00:00
Giorgos Keramidas
4dd47928b7 Add an example of using bs=2048 to duplicate data CD-ROMs.
This should be a bit useful for users who look at the manpage and
then try to copy data CD-ROM disks using dd.  A lot of us know
that bs=2048 is required, but it still manages to cause a bit of
grief to those who haven't heard about it.

e3edab4a91 Add a "fillchar" command line argument to dd(1) that permits the user
to specify an alternative padding character when using a conversion
mode, or when using noerror with sync and an input error occurs.  This
facilities reading old and error-prone media by allowing the user to
more effectively mark error blocks in the output stream.

e27480d64d mdoc(7) police:
Revert to using the .Tn POSIX and .Tn ANSI instead of \*[Px] and \*[Ai]
strings; using these strings is unsafe in troff mode, as they include a
change in a font size.

a6d413e7f8 Add iseek= and oseek= aliases for the preexisting skip= and seek=
operands.  Can _YOU_ tell skip= and seek= apart with 100% accuracy
every time?

This also seems to make us option-for-option compatible with the
Solaris dd(1).

54946e00b2 This is the second round of dd(1) changes. Some changes made/reversed by
request of Bruce. More changes may follow later. 'g' multiplier has
been added (i.e. dd seek=5g if=bigfile.) Some minor corrections were made
as well.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
