It's like duck typing: if it has syscalls like cp and uses them like cp then it must be cp... at least something like that. In the end, dd gives you more control (buffer sizes, IO synchronization behavior for data/metadata) and it can print the status with SIGUSR1. But for regular "push data around from FD to FD" job the only crucial difference I remember is the nasty behavior of dd when a short read occurres - aborting instead of retrying as cp does. Not sure whether they changed the default mode to blocking mode nowadays. Regards, Eduard. -- <towo> Du solltest wissen: Du bist hier im Internet.
