You've done it. Thanks. To make it happen, it would help if you: * Looked for existing practice. Maybe some other dd has an option, or some dd competitor? (We can learn from their mistakes. :-) * Thought about the alternatives. With 2 bytes there's only one way to swap, but with 4 bytes you have 23 ways, and with 8 bytes you have 40,319 ways. How to specify them all? Or do they all need to be possible? * Implemented the solution, and provided a patch. Particularly, a patch to the documentation -- that's the hardest part. OK, OK, so I'm asking for a lot. But it is a volunteer organization here, we can always use more volunteers, and even if you can do only a part of the work, that would help. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
