I was testing uuencode command and my plan was to create a 10M file and send it as a attachment.
below is the coolest way to do that :)
On Linux, you can use the dd command:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=output.dat bs=1024 count=10240
10240+0 records in
10240+0 records out
10485760 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0.218581 seconds, 48.0 MB/s
$ ls -hl output.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 peter peter 10M 2008-02-09 16:21 output.dat
The above dd command creates a zero-filled file named output.dat consisting of a count of 10240 blocks, each of block size 1024.
You can also do the same thing using :
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=output.dat bs=1M count=10
Suggestions are welcome!
