CVS commit: src/bin/dd

["Antti Kantee" <pooka%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   pooka
Date:           Mon Nov 22 21:04:28 UTC 2010

Modified Files:
        src/bin/dd: Makefile args.c dd.c dd.h extern.h position.c

Log Message:
Add two new operands: "rif" and "rof".  They operate exactly like
"if" and "of" with the exception that the communicate with a rump
kernel instead of the host kernel.

For example, to write stdout to /tmp/file.txt in a rump kernel namespace:
        dd rof=/tmp/file.txt

copy /file1 to /file2 inside a rump kernel:
        dd rif=/file1 rof=/file2

copy a snippet from /dev/rmd0d on the rump kernel to the host fs:
        dd rif=/dev/rmd0d of=save seek=1000 count=3

Eat that, usermode OS.

(I'll document the operands one I have some manpage to refer to
for rump client use).
