While experimenting with dd I did the following ($ being the prompt): $ echo moocow > test.txt $ dd if=test.txt 2> /dev/null moocow $ dd if=test.txt ibs=1c obs=1c count=5 2> /dev/null (... No output ...) $ dd if=test.txt ibs=1c obs=1c count=5 mooco5+0 records in 5+0 records out $ dd if=test.txt ibs=1c obs=1c count=5 1> /dev/null 5+0 records in 5+0 records out $
The line that I find questionable is the line where I placed "(... No output ...)". It should display: mooco$ (Once again, $ is the prompt.) I'm using the following on my system: gcc 2.95.3 glibc 2.2.3 bash 2.05.0 That's all I figured would be relevant.
