# The sysutils/sdd port

## sdd-1.52p0 – faster and improved version of dd

## Description

    sdd is a replacement for dd(1).

    - Much faster than dd in cases where input block size (ibs) is not equal
      to the output block size (obs).
    - sdd does not share the design bugs of dd that cause fragments to be
      read from a pipe and filled up to input block size.
    - Statistics are much better readable than from 'dd'.
    - rmt support for if= & of=
    - Output file is sync'd before doing statistic report.
    - Timing available, -time option will print transfer speed
    - Timing & Statistics available at any time with SIGQUIT (^\)
    - Can seek on input and output
    - Fast null input
    - Fast null output
    - Reblocking on pipes does not fill small input blocks to
      input block size
    - Debug printing
    - Progress printing
