Great, nice to hear :)
I did also not like the space, but took it over from the source code of
dd.c. But it looks like this is the only file where this space occurs.
LANG=en_EN.utf8 dd --help
outputs
N and BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes:
c =1, w =2, b =512, kB =1000, K =1024, MB =1000*1000, M =1024*1024, xM =M,
But in the translation there is no space:
LANG=de_DE.utf8 dd --help
outputs
N und BYTES können folgende multiplikative Endungen tragen:
c=1, w=2, b=512, kB=1000, K=1024, MB=1000×1000, M=1024×1024, xM=M
In the attached updated patch file I removed the space in the new
addtional notes and in the dd help text.
Best regards
