# 187922 30-Jan-2009 keramida

Bump .Dd for r187609


# 187609 23-Jan-2009 keramida

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.

Scheduled mdoc(7) sweep.


# 133762 15-Aug-2004 rwatson

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.


# 129295 16-May-2004 ru

Bump document date for the latest functional change.
Minor markup tweaks.

# 107282 26-Nov-2002 ru

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.

Approved by: re

# 57639 01-Mar-2000 green

After Bruce kindly explained the whole groff "sentence" idea to me, I've
put the whitespace in the right place.


# 57534 27-Feb-2000 green

Fix style bugs I introduced in the last revision.

Brucified by: bde


# 57523 26-Feb-2000 green

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).

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

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.
