It would be useful if dd had an option to create sparse output files, similarly to the --sparse option in cp.

Available since v8.16, commit:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=4e776faa
News entry:
dd now accepts the conv=sparse flag to attempt to create sparse
output, by seeking rather than writing to the output file.
Marking as done.
