@roaima - just curious, why editing a quote from the man page ?

@don_crissti I felt the (lack of) context in extracting the quote from the man page mean that it required a slightly different form of words. As it stands in the man page it's fine; here it looked strange.

@roaima - all right - curiosity satisfied :) - but note that you link to the info page; the initial answer here had the exact quote from the man page. I would have copy/pasted directly from the info page if the man page is ambiguous but really, up to you... Oh, btw, thanks much for your other comment on my answer related to sorting by week day.

Doesn't seem to be available in dd (coreutils) 8.13: dd: invalid status flag: `none' Try `dd --help' for more information.

is status=none supported by busybox? how about toybox? how about OpenBSD/FreeBSD? how about Solaris? i know that support for status=progress varies wildly
