Theoretically, yes, of course I could just try to create an arbitrary
sized file from /dev/urandom via dd. I hoped there would be an equally
both fast and elegant solution possible as with the C approach (malloc
without init). Bob's idea of just reading and piping files from /bin or
/usr/bin was also a good idea.
Well, if there's no... "more elegant" solution, I'll happily go with what
has been offered. (Note the " around "more elegant"!)
Thanks! :-)
