Based on the dd program found in the GNU Coreutils package, dcfldd has the following additional features:
|
|
|
|
* Hashing on-the-fly - dcfldd can hash the input data as it is being transferred, helping to ensure data integrity.
|
|
|
|
* Status output - dcfldd can update the user of its progress in terms of the amount of data transferred and how much longer operation will take.
|
|
|
|
* Flexible disk wipes - dcfldd can be used to wipe disks quickly and with a known pattern if desired.
|
|
|
|
* Image/wipe Verify - dcfldd can verify that a target drive is a bit-for-bit match of the specified input file or pattern.
|
|
|
|
* Multiple outputs - dcfldd can output to multiple files or disks at the same time.
|
|
|
|
* Split output - dcfldd can split output to multiple files with more configurability than the split command.
|
|
|
|
* Piped output and logs - dcfldd can send all its log data and output to commands as well as files natively.
