================
>Description:

The dd(1) manual has extra spaces after the "conv=" operand syntax
line, which, if used in a command, is fatal.
================
>How-To-Repeat:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null conv= lcase
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null conv=lcase, sparse
================
>Fix:

Change "conv= value[, value ...]" to "conv=value[,value,...]".

Maybe add to description "spaces are not allowed".
