oflag option in GNU dd - equivalent in FreeBSD dd ?

2007-10-22 Thread Juri Mianovich
I am used to using this command in Linux, using GNU dd: dd if=/blah of=/bleh oflag=append conv=notrunc The problem is, FreeBSD 'dd' does not understand the "oflag" argument. Is there some equivalent in the FreeBSD 'dd' syntax that I can use, or am I forced to install GNU utils ? _
