I think that dd should always default to binary unless directed not to do so. I don't think anyone would be expecting it to perform automatic LF->CRLF translations for them since that is not a documented feature of the utility. >Meanwhile, I noticed that cygwin permits open("foo", O_RDWR | O_BINARY >| O_TEXT), although I don't know which of the two modes it chose; I >think it should instead return EINVAL like setmode(fd, O_BINARY | >O_TEXT) does. This behavior is consistent with windows, AFAICT. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
