Where sizes are expected, they are in bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
However, the letters \fBw\fR, \fBb\fR, or \fBk\fR may be appended to the
|
|
|
|
|
number to indicate words (2 bytes), blocks (512 bytes), or K
|
|
|
|
|
(1024 bytes), respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
When
|
|
|
|
|
.I dd
|
|
|
|
|
is finished, it reports the number of full and partial blocks read and written.
