-Name
-
-amdd \14 AMANDA version of dd
-
-Synopsis
-
-amdd [-d ] [if=input] [of=output] [bs=blocksize] [skip=count] [count=count]
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
-Amdd provides just enough of the standard UNIX dd command for the needs of
-AMANDA. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard dd program has
-not yet been found.
-Amdd also provides access to the AMANDA output drivers that support various
-tape simulations. This may be used for debugging or to convert from one format
-to another.
-See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA. See the OUTPUT
-DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the AMANDA output drivers.
-
-OPTIONS
-
-
-
- -d
- Turn on debugging output.
-
- -llength
- Set the output length. If the output driver limits the output size, this
- controls when end of tape will be simulated.
- Length may have a multiplier suffix:
-
- k -> 1024 (Kilobytes)
- b -> 512 (Blocks)
- M -> 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
- The default is no multiplier (bytes).
-
-
-
- if=input
- Input to dd. Default is stdin.
-
- of=output
- Where to send the output of dd. Default is stdout.
-
- bs=blocksize
- Size of each record. Input records smaller than this will not be padded.
- Output records will be the same size as the corresponding input record.
- Default is 512 bytes.
- Blocksize may have a multiplier suffix:
-
- k -> 1024 (Kilobytes)
- b -> 512 (Blocks)
- M -> 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
- The default is no multiplier (bytes).
-
-
-
- count=count
- Number of records to copy. Default is all records until end of file.
-
- skip=count
- Number of records to skip before copying input to output. Default is
