Module dd_lib::io

Expand description

Reading, writing, and manipulating bytes.

In this module, we use the following type shorthands:

R is the [Reader]: for dd, this is either Stdin or a File
W is the [Writer]: for dd, this is either Stdout or a File
C is the Converter
E is the error output. This is always Stderr during normal operation (the type paramater exists to facilitate testing)

Modules

copy bytes from a Reader to a Writer, converting them according to a Converter

Reader reads from the specified file or stdin, according to the options specified in opts
