Edit: I just found this in the coreutils 9.0 changelog:
dd now counts bytes instead of blocks if a block count ends in "B".
For example, 'dd count=100KiB' now copies 100 KiB of data, not
102,400 blocks of data. The flags count_bytes, skip_bytes and
seek_bytes are therefore obsolescent and are no longer documented,
though they still work.
- shmerl 4y agoThanks for the pointer. So you can simply do something like: dd if=foo skip=nB count=mB bs=4M of=bar To get m bytes from offset n
