On both the dd man and Info pages, we see
count=BLOCKS
copy only BLOCKS input blocks
OK, but one must use ones brain, heavens forbid, to figure out that
e.g., these
bs=BYTES
force ibs=BYTES and obs=BYTES
ibs=BYTES
read BYTES bytes at a time
change the block size. Because you don't say that that is what they
do. You just say "bytes at a time", and the user has to figure out the
connection to BLOCKS and them.
