.BR dd (1p)
utility and used here to decrease ambiguity.
When seeking or skipping to a byte, writing or reading starts at the byte
immediately subsequent to the specified byte.
The offset used when skipping or seeking refers to how many bytes are skipped
or sought. Running
.BR dj (1)
with a skip offset of 1 skips one byte into the input and reads from the second
byte onwards. A programmer may think of a file as a zero-indexed array of
bytes; in this analogy, the offset given is the index of the byte at which to
start reading or writing.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP \fB-i\fP
.IP \fB-i\fP\ \fIfile\fP
Takes a file path as an argument and opens it for use as an input.
.IP \fB-b\fP
.IP \fB-b\fP\ \fIblock_size\fP
Takes a numeric argument as the size in bytes of the input buffer, the default
being 1024.
.IP \fB-s\fP
Takes a numeric argument as the number of bytes to skip into the input
before starting to read. If the standard input is used, bytes read to this point
are discarded.
Takes a numeric argument as the index of the byte at which reading will
commence; \(lqskips\(rq that number of bytes. If the standard input is used,
bytes read to this point are discarded.
.IP \fB-o\fP
Takes a file path as an argument and opens it for use as an output.
.IP \fB-B\fP
.IP \fB-B\fP\ \fIblock_size\fP
Does the same as
.B -b
but for the output buffer.
.IP \fB-S\fP
Seeks a number of bytes through the output before starting to write from
the input. If the output is a stream, null characters are printed.
Takes a numeric argument as the index of the byte at which writing will
commence; \(lqseeks\(rq that number of bytes. If the standard output is used,
null characters are printed.
.IP \fB-a\fP
Accepts a single literal byte with which the input buffer is padded in the event
of an incomplete read from the input file.
.IP \fB-A\fP
Specifying this option pads the input buffer with null bytes in the event of an
incomplete read. This is equivalent to specifying
.B -a
with a null byte instead of a character.
of an incomplete read from the input file. If the option argument is empty, the
null byte is used.
.IP \fB-c\fP
Specifies a number of reads to make. The default is 0, in which case the
input is read until a partial or empty read is made.
.IP \fB-d\fP
Prints invocation information before program execution as described in the
DIAGNOSTICS section. Each invocation increments the debug level of the
program.
.IP \fB-H\fP
Prints diagnostics messages in a human-readable manner as described in the
Prints diagnostic messages in a human-readable manner as described in the
DIAGNOSTICS section.
.IP \fB-n\fP
Retries failed reads once before exiting.
.IP \fB-q\fP
Suppresses error messages which print when a read or write is partial or
empty. Each invocation decrements the debug level of the program.

Existing files are not truncated on ouput and are instead overwritten.
Many lowercase options have capitalized variants and vice-versa which can be
confusing. Capitalized options tend to affect output or are more intense
versions of lowercase options.

The lowercase option affects input and the capitalized option affects output.
The skipped or sought bytes while processing irregular files, such as streams,
are reported in the diagnostic output, because they were actually read or
written. This is as opposed to bytes skipped while processing regular files,
which are not reported.
