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.

Remove clause 3 from the UCB licenses.

OK'ed by: imp, core

WARNS=4 fixes. This would be WARNS=9 if we were -std=99 instead of
-ansi, due to 'long long'.

o __P has been reoved
o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.

Commit general cleanups (separate get_num() and get_off_t() functions to
debogosify some of the command-line string-number conversions into
an unsigned and signed variant.)

Various cleanups are made to reduce warnings and make code prettier :)
Also, check for ftruncate() return value and die on failure, but only
try to ftruncate() when the file is a regular file.

Even more dd(1) cleanups! Thanks to Bruce for staying on my case until
we're done (not yet!) :)

Even more cleanups to dd(1). This is probably the culmination of the
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.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

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.

Noticed by: bde

Miscellaneous dd(1) changes: mainly fixing variable types (size_t, ssize_t,
off_t, int, u_int64_t, etc.). dd(1) should now work properly with REALLY
big amounts of data.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

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.
