Specialty Definition: DD

Domain Definition
Computing Dd /dee-dee/ vt. [Unix: from IBM JCL] Equivalent to cat or BLT. Originally the name of a Unix copy command with special options suitable for block-oriented devices; it was often used in heavy-handed system maintenance, as in "Let's `dd' the root partition onto a tape, then use the boot PROM to load it back on to a new disk". The Unix `dd(1)' was designed with a weird, distinctly non-Unixy keyword option syntax reminiscent of IBM System/360 JCL (which had an elaborate DD `Dataset Definition' specification for I/O devices); though the command filled a need, the interface design was clearly a prank. The jargon usage is now very rare outside Unix sites and now nearly obsolete even there, as `dd(1)' has been deprecated for a long time (though it has no exact replacement). The term has been displaced by BLT or simple English `copy'. Source: Jargon File.

Common Expressions: DD

Expressions Definition
Dd (Unix) Dd is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of files. Some have suggested that it stands for Copy and Convert, but since "cc" was already in use as the code for the C Compiler, "dd" was used instead; in any case, DD is a shorthand for "data definition" in IBM JCL and the name of the program is generally presumed to be a bit of gallows humor. (references)
DD Direct Plus DD Direct Plus is a Direct To Home television service in India, run by the state owned Doordarshan network. The service offers all Doordashan channels, along with a few private satellite television channels. This service is entirely free except the initial cost. No monthly rent is needed. (references)
