> its highly nonstandard syntax Other than the missing dash/double-dash, what exactly is "highly nonstandard" about `dd`? "f" has been a shortcut for "stream" for decades fprintf the `arg=value` syntax is common to many command line tools grep --color=auto ; and i/o are literally the abbreviations for, well, Input/Output. So we have "input-stream=" and "output-stream=". How is that "highly nonstandard"? Because the dashes are missing? > But otherwise, try to stick to more standard Unix tools. `dd` is literally part of POSIX, it doesn't get more standard than that; https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/dd.html https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/d...
