Package: coreutils Severity: wishlist It would be nice to have some way to do this without depending on bash:
cp --sparse=always <(zcat foo.img.gz) foo.img One possibility might be to make it possible to specify standard input as a source for cp. Another possibility might be to add something like "conv=sparse" to dd.
