dd(1) patch
After reading the source code, the sync option has three possible characters to
pad the input block with. First is the user-specified value of fillchar; second
is a space when block, noblock, ascii, ebcidic, or their synonyms are
specified; and a NUL character otherwise.
Document this behavior by updating dd(1).
