It should do that. dd.c's main program invokes "atexit (close_stdout);", and this should invoke close_stdout (which reports an error) if the close fails. What is the output of the following command, around the point of the close? strace dd if=myfirmware.bin of=/dev/mydevice Can you start a debugger and put a breakpoint on close_stdout and see what happens? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
