I would like to suggest and in fact volunteer to create a conf file
option to 'dd'.
By doing that you're replacing function arguments with global variables,
which is a bad idea.
It has dozens of hard to remember options, and there are some that I
would like to use all the time.
Look into shell functions and aliases.
For example, I am currently doing:
$ sudo dd if=CentOS-6.10-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4096
conv=fsync
right now, and I have to lookup the conv=fsync option every time I
want to write to a USB drive.
It's unlikely that this option is required; have you tried it without?
To make sure any buffered writes are flushed, do a "sync" after the
entire dd operation.
