dd statistics output

[Christian Groessler]

Hi,

the final output of 'dd' is in "SI mode" (or how to call it). It uses 
10^6 instead of 2^20 for "megabyte".

Example:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=65536 count=4096
4096+0 records in
4096+0 records out
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 0.0248346 s, 10.8 GB/s
$

Is there a switch to display in "traditional" units, I'd like to have

268435456 bytes (256 MB) copied, ...

regards,
chris
