From 627412847ef8972e84d4ed957fe1bed4f018bd2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benno Schulenberg Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:58:42 +0200 Subject: dd: remove references to the word BLOCKS from help and texi docs The renaming from BLOCKS to N was done in v8.15-38-g140eca1, and documentation for N was added again in v8.17-26-g4f2e9d5 without noticing that. Now, finally remove the word BLOCKS from the documentation. * src/dd.c (usage): Remove the word BLOCKS. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
