Build bad block list

/eettcc/bbaaddssccaann [ -vv ] [ -oo _p_r_o_t_o ] [ -bb _b_o_o_t ] _d_e_v_i_c_e _s_i_z_e
/eettcc/bbaaddssccaann [ -vv ] [ -oo _p_r_o_t_o ] [ -bb _b_o_o_t ] _d_e_v_i_c_e _x_d_e_v_i_c_e

bbaaddssccaann scans a disk for  bad blocks and writes a prototype file,
which lists all bad blocks on the disk, onto the standard output.
It recognizes the following options:

-vv      Print an estimate  of time needed to finish examining the
        device.

-oo _p_r_o_t_o
        Redirect output into file _p_r_o_t_o.

-bb _b_o_o_t Insert a given _b_o_o_t into the proto file as the bootstrap.
        The default is /ccoonnff/bboooott.

_d_e_v_i_c_e names the special device to scan.

_s_i_z_e gives  the size of  the device, in blocks.   For hard disks,
_x_d_e_v_i_c_e specifies devices  /ddeevv/aatt00xx or /ddeevv/aatt11xx, which uses the
partition-table information in the master boot block of the drive
to find  the size of  the ddeevviiccee. Use /ddeevv/aatt00xx  when examining a
partition on  hard-disk drive 0,  and /ddeevv/aatt11xx when  examining a
partition on hard-disk drive 1.
