dd behaviour not in documentation (manpage)
An instance of `dd` running with `bs=1M of=/dev/null` inappropriately reports the block size. This is a documented and known behavior of `dd` and can be mended by using `iflag=fullblock` on the output side. However our documentation for the program seems to be lacking this section of the source documentation. Description:
Additional info:
- package version(s):
coreutils 9.4-2
linux 6.6.4.arch1-1
- config and/or log files: NA
- link to upstream bug report, if any: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=68216
Steps to reproduce:
- Run this example:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1 | dd bs=1M of=/dev/null
- Notice the second
dd
command returns a count of records based on the default behavior ofbs=512
- Try again with
iflag=fullblock
on the output side to see the intended record count.
