If the user tries to figure out how to skip one byte
just from reading the dd man page, and not info,

in order to finally figure out how to do

$ echo abc|dd ibs=1 skip=1
bc

it seems
       ibs=BYTES
              read up to BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
should be instead
       ibs=BYTES
              reset the input block size (default: 512)
or something...

Hmm I suppose a more direct description is more accurate.


BTW, note the skip_bytes flag which can be used to more
efficiently skip odd sizes:

$ echo abc | dd iflag=skip_bytes skip=1 status=none
bc

$ echo abc | strace -e read dd iflag=skip_bytes skip=1 status=none
read(0, "a", 1)                         = 1
read(0, "bc\n", 512)                    = 3
read(0, "", 512)                        = 0
bc

cheers,
P�draig.
