Using standard as an adjective to mean "used or accepted as normal or average" or "usual, common, or customary" makes a lot of sense. I just came back from tour

Using standard as an adjective to mean "used or accepted as normal or average" or "usual, common, or customary" makes a lot of sense. I just came back from touring my buddy's new woodshop. When people ask how it looks I will say "he has your standard set of woodshop tools." Nobody is going to wonder if it's an ISO, or ANSI standard set of woodshop tools.
- kelnos 4y agoIf we go by your definition, then 'dd' is absolutely "standard", and 'pv' absolutely is not.
- ufo 4y agoThe point here is that dd is the weird one out that has a different command line syntax than everything else. Not about whether it's installed by default. (Let's not get distracted by the pv bit; dd's status=progress isn't POSIX either)
