use dd very carefully
ddrescue > dd, but because its input and output files are positional command line parameters it needs even more care :-)
someone should make a bash wrapper for it that fixes that. Eeesh.
/me scrolls down
Yeah, like the dd one presented here.

@TimeBandit if = input file of = output file. Remember that and it's easy.
I really wanna slap whoever decided on using letters that are RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE KEYBOARD to differentiate input and output for dd
.
Sure, it's closer to the letters of I/O. But we're talking about the command line so ease of use and accessibility really don't matter</rtfm>
Or you could switch to a better keyboard layout :dvorak_onion:
