A small dd like tool with progressbar. Useful when writing disk images to e.g. sd-cards.

It will also sanity check that you don't write to a mounted device (no more accidental dd of your main hdd anymore). It uses udev to detect possible targets and will write synchronously (no need to run "sync" manually after the image was written).

Simple usage:

$ sudo godd ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-bbb.img /dev/sdd
1.29 GB / 3.63 GB [================>-----------------------------] 35.56 % 3m28s

Without target it will display detected removable devices:

$ sudo godd ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-bbb.img
No target selected, detected the following removable device:
  /dev/sdb
