--rw-test might be best, seems more explanatory, or if more detailed

I have finally used --same-file because I have discovered some
interesting uses in addition to read/write testing:
'--same-file'
Allow INFILE and OUTFILE to be the same file or device. This can
be used to test the writing ability of a drive. It can also be used
to copy part of a file to another location inside or beyond the
end of the same file if '--input-position' and '--output-position'
are different.
The only incompatibility I have found is with --truncate. I have also
had to work around a "bad file descriptor" error with --preallocate.
I expect to release it tomorrow.
Best regards,
Antonio.
