Module Name: src
Committed By: jym

Modified Files:
src/bin/dd: Makefile args.c dd.1 dd.c extern.h misc.c
Log Message:
Add a new command to dd(1): msgfmt. The command modifies the
output of the information summary returned by dd(1). This can be used
to specify messages in a more usable (or parseable) format like
human-readable values.
My intent is to re-use this for building image files and quick I/O
benchmarking.
