>Description:
I found a style issue between dd and truncate,
dd accepts size suffix 'b', 'k', 'm', 'g', all are low case,
but truncate only supports upper case, 'B', 'K', 'M', etc.
it seems truncate is new and should be compatible with dd.
>How-To-Repeat:
$truncate -s1m temp
invalid size argument 1m
