Hello here is a small test I did
bash$ > foo bash$ dd if=foo skip=10 dd: `foo': cannot skip to specified offset 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000167556 s, 0.0 kB/s bash$ echo $? 0 bash$ dd if=bar skip=10 dd: opening `bar': No such file or directory bash$ echo $? 1 The test with bar is only to check that exit code can be set. Is it the expected behaviour to have a success exit code when skip fails, even with the notice message "cannot skip..."? I would rather expect dd to exit with an error code for the failed skip. -- ffx
