NAME

  dkt blocksize - Adjust block size

SYNOPSIS

  dkt blocksize <option(s)>

DESCRIPTION

The program reads input from standard input or from the named files
and write output to standard output as a sequence of fixed-size blocks.
This can be used to provide input data for the "dd" program.

OPTIONS

-R
	skips all settings from dkt.conf configuration files.

-b size
	specifies the block size.
	You can apppend `k', `M' or `G' to the size for
	Kibibypte (1024 bytes) or Mibibyte (1048576 bytes)
	or Gigibyte (1073741824 bytes).
	The recommended size is 4k for traditional hard disks,
	1M for SSD.

-s
	uses simple file I/O functions (read()/write()).
	This might result in a better performance than using the default
	dk3sf_read_app()/dk3sf_write_app() functions but on errors the
	diagnostic messages will be less informative.

RETURN VALUE

The program returns 0 on success, any other value indicates an error.
