It even reads this way in coreutils 8.25.
Yes, there seems to be a comma missing after "xM = M", IMHO it should read: c =1, w =2, b =512, kB =1000, K =1024, MB =1000*1000, M =1024*1024, xM =M, GB =1000*1000*1000, G =1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y. (from dd --help, which is used to generate the man page) Thanks, Erik -- http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~auerswal/
