| Summary : A variant of the standard Unix command dd
|
Description :
The ddpt utility is a variant of the standard Unix command dd which
copies files. The ddpt utility specializes in files that are block
devices. For block devices that understand the SCSI command set, finer
grain control over the copy may be available via a SCSI pass-through
interface.
The types of block devices that are supported are disks (known as
direct access devices in SCSI) and cd/dvd/bd devices. Tape drives are
not supported. It is becoming more common for ATA disks (especially
SATA) to be accessed by an operating system using SCSI commands. ATA
disks are not always directly connected and transports such as USB,
IEEE1394 (FireWire) and iSCSI use SCSI commands. Protocol translation
from SCSI to ATA (SAT standard) has been around for several years and
many implementations are now reliable.
The ddpt utility is a more generic version of the Linux specific sg_dd
utility found in the sg3_utils package.
