234.It Cm noerror
235Do not stop processing on an input error.
236When an input error occurs, a diagnostic message followed by the current
237input and output block counts will be written to the standard error output
238in the same format as the standard completion message.

365.Sh EXAMPLES
366Check that a disk drive contains no bad blocks:
367.Dl dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=1m
368.Pp
369Do a refresh of a disk drive, in order to prevent presently
370recoverable read errors from progressing into unrecoverable read errors:
371.Dl dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m
372.Pp
373Remove parity bit from a file
374.Dl dd if=file conv=parnone of=file.txt
375.Pp
376Check for (even) parity errors on a file:
377.Dl dd if=file conv=pareven | cmp -x - file
