Unfortunately, dd on OSX has no status option:
But it reacts to signals too, like dd on Linux. It's another signal however: siginfo.
And signal siginfo is coupled to key-combination CTRL-T. No need to use kill, you can just type CTRL-T in the terminal window where dd is running:

> Unfortunately, dd on OSX has no status option
Fortunately, dd on OSX has no *linux*-equivalent dd option, because it came from FreeBSD, where it's had the SIGUSR1/SIGINT option since August 7, 1991 ;) https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+1.0-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html Was linux in public existence then? It appears not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Linux On 25 August 1991, he (at age 21) announced this system in a Usenet posting to the newsgroup "comp.os.minix." Why did they re-invent the wheel in the first place is a better question ;) |

OSX uses the BSD version of dd, the status extension has been added in FreeBSD and OpenBSD but well after OSX forked. NetBSD still doesn't have it https://www.unix.com/man-page/netbsd/1/dd/
You (like many people) are probably used to the GNU variant. |
