This program was based on the dd(1p) utility as specified in POSIX. While
character conversion may have been the original intent of dd(1p), it is
irrelevant to its modern use. Because of this, this program eschews character
conversion and adds typical option formatting, allowing seeks to be specified
in bytes rather than in blocks, allowing arbitrary bytes as padding, and
printing in a format that\(cqs easy for machines to parse.
