Straight from the macOS Terminal app:
"DD(1)
General Commands Manual
DD(1)
NAME
dd - convert and copy a file
SYNOPSIS
dd [operands ...]
DESCRIPTION
The dd utility copies the standard input to the standard output. Input
data is read and written in 512-byte blocks. If input reads are short,
input from multiple reads are aggregated to form the output block. When
finished, dd displays the number of complete and partial input and
output blocks and truncated input records to the standard error output."
