Unrecognized option: --
usage: /usr/share/zfs/zfs-tests/bin/stride_dd -i inputfile -o outputfile -b blocksize [-c count]
[-s stride] [-k seekblocks] [-K seekbytes]
[-a alignment] [-d if_o_direct] [-D of_o_direct]
[-p skipblocks] [-P skipbytes] [-e entire_file]
Simplified version of dd that supports the stride option.
A stride of n means that for each block written, n - 1 blocks
are skipped in both the input and output file. A stride of 1
means that blocks are read and written consecutively.
All numeric parameters must be integers.
inputfile: File to read from
outputfile: File to write to
blocksize: Size of each block to read/write
count: Number of blocks to read/write (Required unless -e is used)
stride: Read/write a block then skip (stride - 1) blocks
seekblocks: Number of blocks to skip at start of output
seekbytes: Treat seekblocks as byte count
alignment: Alignment passed to posix_memalign() (default PAGE_SIZE)
if_o_direct: Use O_DIRECT with inputfile (default no O_DIRECT)
of_o_direct: Use O_DIRECT with outputfile (default no O_DIRECT)
skipblocks: Number of blocks to skip at start of input (default 0)
skipbytes: Treat skipblocks as byte count
entire_file: When used the entire inputfile will be read and count will be ignored
