dd(1) issues a nice warning about short reads ...
src/dd if=/dev/random of=sample bs=1000 count=2
src/dd: warning: partial read (128 bytes); suggest iflag=fullblock
0+2 records in
0+2 records out
256 bytes (256 B) copied, 0.000423371 s, 605 kB/s
... but only if count was > 1:
src/dd if=/dev/random of=sample bs=1000 count=1
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
128 bytes (128 B) copied, 0.000270231 s, 474 kB/s
Is this by intension or an off-by-one?
I'd like to provide a patch in the latter case.
Have a nice day,
Berny
