-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.\" Add any additional description here
-.PP
-Copy a file, converting and formatting according to the operands.
-.TP
-bs=BYTES
-read and write up to BYTES bytes at a time
-.TP
-cbs=BYTES
-convert BYTES bytes at a time
-.TP
-conv=CONVS
-convert the file as per the comma separated symbol list
-.TP
-count=N
-copy only N input blocks
-.TP
-ibs=BYTES
-read up to BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
-.TP
-if=FILE
-read from FILE instead of stdin
-.TP
-iflag=FLAGS
-read as per the comma separated symbol list
-.TP
-obs=BYTES
-write BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
-.TP
-of=FILE
-write to FILE instead of stdout
-.TP
-oflag=FLAGS
-write as per the comma separated symbol list
-.TP
-seek=N
-skip N obs\-sized blocks at start of output
-.TP
-skip=N
-skip N ibs\-sized blocks at start of input
-.TP
-status=noxfer
-suppress transfer statistics
-.PP
-BLOCKS and BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes:
-c =1, w =2, b =512, kB =1000, K =1024, MB =1000*1000, M =1024*1024, xM =M
-GB =1000*1000*1000, G =1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y.
-.PP
-Each CONV symbol may be:
-.TP
-ascii
-from EBCDIC to ASCII
-.TP
-ebcdic
-from ASCII to EBCDIC
-.TP
-ibm
-from ASCII to alternate EBCDIC
-.TP
-block
-pad newline\-terminated records with spaces to cbs\-size
-.TP
-unblock
-replace trailing spaces in cbs\-size records with newline
-.TP
-lcase
-change upper case to lower case
-.TP
-ucase
-change lower case to upper case
-.TP
-sparse
-try to seek rather than write the output for NUL input blocks
-.TP
-swab
-swap every pair of input bytes
-.TP
-sync
-pad every input block with NULs to ibs\-size; when used
-with block or unblock, pad with spaces rather than NULs
-.TP
-excl
-fail if the output file already exists
-.TP
-nocreat
-do not create the output file
-.TP
-notrunc
-do not truncate the output file
-.TP
-noerror
-continue after read errors
-.TP
-fdatasync
-physically write output file data before finishing
-.TP
-fsync
-likewise, but also write metadata
-.PP
-Each FLAG symbol may be:
-.TP
-append
-append mode (makes sense only for output; conv=notrunc suggested)
-.TP
-direct
-use direct I/O for data
-.TP
-directory
-fail unless a directory
-.TP
-dsync
-use synchronized I/O for data
-.TP
-sync
-likewise, but also for metadata
-.TP
-fullblock
-accumulate full blocks of input (iflag only)
-.TP
-nonblock
-use non\-blocking I/O
-.TP
-noatime
-do not update access time
-.TP
-nocache
-discard cached data
-.TP
-noctty
-do not assign controlling terminal from file
-.TP
-nofollow
-do not follow symlinks
-.TP
-count_bytes
-treat 'count=N' as a byte count (iflag only)
-.TP
-skip_bytes
-treat 'skip=N' as a byte count (iflag only)
-.TP
-seek_bytes
-treat 'seek=N' as a byte count (oflag only)
-.PP
-Sending a USR1 signal to a running 'dd' process makes it
-print I/O statistics to standard error and then resume copying.
