* Version 4.0.33.
+ * doc/fileutils.texi: Document seek=nB and skip=nB.
+
+ * src/dd.c (skip_bytes, seek_bytes): Now booleans, not counts.
+ (seek_records): Renamed from seek_record, for consistency with
+ skip_records and max_records. All uses changed.
+
+ (usage, scanargs): Remove bseek=n and bskip=n; instead, use seek=nB
+ and skip=nB.
+ (enum Unit, Unit): Remove.
+ (skip, dd_copy, main): Undo most recent change.
+ (dd_copy, main): Pass blocksize of 1 as appropriate when
+ skip_bytes or seek_bytes is nonzero.
+ (main): Rework ftruncate failure diagnostic to always use byte count.
