Oh yes, Ctrl+T is much better for BSD dd!https://twitter.com/redtwitdown/status/984691357498277888 …

I’ve not heard that dd isn’t needed anymore. I routinely use it for more than simple file copy. Can pv do seeks and skips or various block sizes or ignore errors like dd can?
pv can ignore errors, but it can't do seeks and skips. However, 99% of the time people don't use that. OTOH, pv uses splice(), which is much more efficient than reading/writing like dd does. dd is fine for surgery, but no longer necessary to just copy data to/from block devices.

That sounds reasonable. I guess I’m in the minority in my atypical use of dd. I wonder how many Linux distros or other OSs include pv.
$WORK has public documents telling customers to dd ISO images to a flash drive from Mac OS X.#lowestCommonDenominatorThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
