| Summary | 0001854: dd iflags=fullblock should be iflag=fullblock | ||||
| Description | 0000406 requested GNU dd's "iflags=fullblock" be added to the standard and that's what was done, but that's the wrong spelling. It should have been "iflag=fullblock" without the s. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change all occurrences of "iflags" to "iflag" | ||||
| Tags | tc1-2024 | ||||
|
|
I checked GNU coreutils, busybox, toybox, FreeBSD, NetBSD and Illumos, and they all have "iflag", not "iflags" (NetBSD and toybox have iflag but looking at the source don't seem to have iflag=fullblock yet) |
|
|
Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard states that dd accepts operands of the form iflags=fullblock, and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- This addition to the standard was intended to match existing practice, which is iflag=fullblock. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- Change all occurrences of "iflags", except in CHANGE HISTORY, on the dd page to "iflag". |
