DD for Windows


Someone wrote a Utillity for Windows, that mimics the behavior of DD from Linux for copying raw data.

As Windows lack that feature native, it's a convenient solution.

Syntax:


dd --help

rawwrite dd for windows version 0.6beta3.

Written by John Newbigin <jn@it.swin.edu.au>

This program is covered by terms of the GPL Version 2.


dd [bs=SIZE] [count=BLOCKS] [if=FILE] [of=FILE] [seek=BLOCKS] [skip=BLOCKS] [--size] [--list] [--progress]

SIZE and BLOCKS may have one of the following suffix:

k = 1024

M = 1048576

G = 1073741824

default block size (bs) is 512 bytes

skip specifies the starting offset of the input file (if)

seek specifies the starting offset of the output file (of)
