Package: coreutils
Version: 8.20-3
Severity: wishlist
File: /bin/dd

For many uses, notably if=/dev/zero, dd need not repeatedly read from
the input file before writing to the output file; dd could read once and
then write repeatedly, saving time.  Perhaps it would make sense to have
an iflag=once?
