Purpose:
	Make an image of some input, possibly a hard drive.
	Read errors are logged and skipped writing 0s.

Usage:
	diskimg drive [sector [log]] 2>progess >image
	Read "drive" starting from a "sector",
	optionally writing a "log", print "progress" to stderr
	and send the "image" to stdout for further processing.

Example:
	diskimg /dev/hda 0 hda.log | split -b 1024m hda.img.
	sector defect 533024-533031 (4096 B)
	0:48:59 2771KB/s 7955MB 20486697 8 defects (4096 B) state 1048576

License:
	This is free software according to GNU GPL v2.0 or higher 
	Use at your own risk.  Absolutely no warranty of any kind.

Features:
	Can image even drives with 100 TB and more
	The log file is somewhat cryptic, such that it can be
	processed by some automated tools more easily, possibly to
	sometimes create a disk emulator via NBD.

Compile:
	You need a recent glibc with large file support.  Then type
	make

Changes:
	V1.0.x printed "too many loops" on EOF, however no harm was
	done.  Many of my old eMail-address are now SPAM honeypots.

Bugs:
	A sector of 512 bytes is assumed.
	Partial sectors (files) are not yet supported.
	Not thoroughly tested as this is release early code.
