dd is fine, at least fine as a disk destroyer can be. It is not standard for UNIX but it is understandable. tar is a bit messy but the worst is definitely ps.

tar is a bit messy but the worst is definitely ps. It has dash and non-dash options, and they don't have the same meaning and interact in a weird way.
Edit: the command is "ps", I somehow managed to mess up the most important word...

Sorry if it should be obvious, but "the worst is definitely the worst" … what is the worst? (Presumably not tar, unless I'm reading incorrectly.)
- StringyBob 5y agops. By far the worst. Because it supports multiple syntax types I can never remember the ps command options. Even if you google for examples you get different syntax and end up with a mix of the same option letters doing different things in one command. It seems to lead to all sorts of subtly unexpected behaviors
- mixmastamyk 5y agops -ef | grep foo Is what I use 98% of the time.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 5y agops aux then pipe to grep and/or cut. Or sort. Or...
- qsdf38100 5y agops afx I like the forest (tree) mode.
