     8.6.34 Dummy files

The following commands will create dummy or empty files:

    $ dd if=/dev/zero    of=filename bs=1k count=5 # 5KB of zero content
    $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=filename bs=1m count=7 # 7MB of random content

When I execute:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=filename bs=1m count=7

I get the error output:
dd: invalid number `1m'

It should be:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=filename bs=1M count=7
