Press Ctrl-C to interrupt

This kind of additional output would be nice:
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Unable to read /dev/sdb
It seems ddrescue was able to open /dev/sdb and then the read command
returned 0 bytes. How can ddrescue tell this from an empty input file?
Note that ddrescue tells the user when it was unable to open the input file.
I mean fdisk expects to read a partition table of a given size, but for
ddrescue an empty input file is as valid as any other.
