1 Dcfldd is a modified version of GNU dd.
2 The major features added are:
4 * Hashing on-the-fly: dcfldd can hash the input data as it is
5 being transferred, helping to ensure data integrity.
6 * Status output: dcfldd can update the user of its progress in
7 terms of the amount of data transferred and how much longer
8 operation will take.
9 * Flexible disk wipes: dcfldd can be used to wipe disks quickly
10 and with a known pattern if desired.
11 * Image/wipe verify: dcfldd can verify that a target drive is a
12 bit-for-bit match of the specified input file or pattern.
13 * Multiple outputs: dcfldd can output to multiple files or disks
14 at the same time.
15 * Split output: dcfldd can split output to multiple files with
16 more configurability than the split command.
17 * Piped output and logs: dcfldd can send all its log data and
18 output to commands as well as files natively.
