signal. Fix it by adding an explicit call to summary() in terminate()
(it was previously called implicitly by exit() because summary() was
registered with atexit()). summary() is supposed to be signal-safe--
it handles SIGINFO almost exclusively--so this should be safe.

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

useful as a seeking-tool as well as its many other uses. Previously,
dd(1) would succeed with count=0, but wouldn't get to the point that
blocks were to be read/written. This is a more useful behavior, and
this specific case doesn't seem to be handled by POSIX.
BDEification process of dd(1). Most of the changes are from BDE's archive.
Support for negative offsets is gone again, but the case where you
lseek() onto byte -1 of something from a negative offset using seek/skip
is fixed; if you end up on -1, you won't get a false positive lseek failure.
The biggest changes are to data types (more size_t, for instance) and
argument parsing. skip/seek on /dev/{,k}mem now occurs (instead of "read
until you reach the offset") due to mem devices now being D_DISK. Some
const things are now correctly declared as such, and the "case table"
building is better. The only thing that seems to be left to make dd(1)
everything TOG wants it to be is l10n.

as well.

specifies exiting with a zero status if the file was copied
successfully, and with a nonzero status if an error occurred. We
are too sloppy to tell if the file was copied successfully when we
get killed by a SIGINT, but it is unlikely to have been. Added a
comment about related sloppiness (calling exit() from a signal
handler).

Change osync to not to tack on an empty block if the input buffer is null,
or an even multiple of the blocksize.
Also change osync to pad the output with nulls/spaces depending whether
this is a block-oriented conversion or not (same as sync).

OpenBSD version for more complete fixes. E.g., to seek to offsets >
INT_MAX using a block size of 1, block numbers need to be off_t's
instead of u_long's.
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.
