Tired of downloading ISOs or any other raw files just to DD them and delete 
them after that? This is the Solution! It uses cURL to curl the file 
byte-by-byte and uses DD to put the curled output to a Physical Drive! Also it 
displays all physical devices with lsblk and waits 15 seconds to terminate the 
program if it was started wit wrong arguments.
Usage: curldd url.to/iso /dev/sdX

The core of the package is `curl $url | dd of=$output`.
At line 15 https://github.com/user0-tb/curldd/blob/main/bin/curldd:

Does this short one-liner require its own package?



With kind regards,

And if so, please change the description to exclude 'This is a Application'. An example could be: 'Download and write an ISO or raw image directly to a physical drive'
