Perhaps you could write & yesy a little demo script for me.
Say, “ls -1 | for (); do dd bs=10b; done”
The problem is the pipe, of course; no Unix I know will allow a seek on a
pipe (?), so it will have to be buffered somehow.
I'm a bit tied up right now, so I'll take a look later. In the meantime
you seem to have lots of responses...
