Hello,
I found what I see as a contradiction between
the dd program error output and its manual.
info dd extract:
`sync'
Pad every input block to size of `ibs' with trailing zero
bytes. When used with `block' or `unblock', pad with spaces
instead of zero bytes.
I read this as: sync can be used with unblock.
But I get the error message:
echo 000100020003 | dd cbs=4 conv=sync,unblock
dd: only one conv in {ascii,ebcdic,ibm}, {lcase,ucase}, {block,unblock},
{unblock,sync}
which I read as: unblock and sync can't be used together.
What is true?
(What I wanted to do is:
Convert a file with fixed block size, here 4 bytes,
to one with every block ended with \n:
0001
0002
0003
)
Please notify me if you find an answer,
as I will inform you if I find out more myself.
Thanks,
Volker Paul
