| '''amdd''' — Amanda version of dd
| |
| | |
| ==Synopsis==
| |
| | |
| '''amdd''' [-d] [if=''input''] [of=''output''] [bs=''blocksize''] [skip=''count''] [count=''count'']
| |
| | |
| ==DESCRIPTION==
| |
| | |
| Amdd provides just enough of the standard UNIX dd command for the needs of Amanda. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard dd program has not yet been found.
| |
| | |
| Amdd also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support various tape simulations. This may be used for debugging or to convert from one format to another.
| |
| | |
| See the [[amanda]](8) man page for more details about Amanda. See the OUTPUT DRIVERS section of [[amanda]](8) for more information on the Amanda output drivers. | |
| | |
| ==OPTIONS==
| |
| | |
| ; -d : Turn on debugging output.
| |
| ; -l''length'' : Set the output length. If the output driver limits the output size, this controls when end of tape will be simulated.
| |
| | |
| : Length may have a multiplier suffix:
| |
| : k = 1024 (Kilobytes)
| |
| : b = 512 (Blocks)
| |
| : M = 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
| |
| : The default is no multiplier (bytes).
| |
| | |
| ;if=''input'' : Input to dd. Default is stdin.
| |
| ;of=''output'' : Where to send the output of dd. Default is stdout.
| |
| ;bs=''blocksize'' : Size of each record. Input records smaller than this will not be padded. Output records will be the same size as the corresponding input record. Default is 512 bytes.
| |
| | |
| : Blocksize may have a multiplier suffix:
| |
| : k = 1024 (Kilobytes)
| |
| : b = 512 (Blocks)
| |
| : M = 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
| |
| : The default is no multiplier (bytes).
| |
| | |
| ; count=''count'' : Number of records to copy. Default is all records until end of file.
| |
| ; skip=''count'' : Number of records to skip before copying input to output. Default is zero.
