+Copy a file, converting and formatting according to the options.  
+;bs=BYTES : force ibs=BYTES and obs=BYTES  
+;cbs=BYTES : convert BYTES bytes at a time  
+;conv=KEYWORDS : convert the file as per the comma separated keyword list  
+;count=BLOCKS : copy only BLOCKS input blocks  
+;ibs=BYTES : read BYTES bytes at a time  
+;if=FILE : read from FILE instead of stdin  
+;obs=BYTES : write BYTES bytes at a time

+BLOCKS and BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes: xM M, c 1, w 2, b 512, kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1,000,000, M 1,048,576, GB 1,000,000,000, G 1,073,741,824, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y. Each KEYWORD may be:  
+;ascii : from EBCDIC to ASCII  
+;ebcdic : from ASCII to EBCDIC  
+;ibm : from ASCII to alternated EBCDIC  
+;block : pad newline-terminated records with spaces to cbs-size  
+;unblock : replace trailing spaces in cbs-size records with newline  
+;lcase : change upper case to lower case  
+;notrunc : do not truncate the output file  
+;ucase : change lower case to upper case  
+;swab : swap every pair of input bytes  
+;noerror : continue after read errors  
+;sync : pad every input block with NULs to ibs-size; when used  
+;: with block or unblock, pad with spaces rather than NULs
