Originally built to copy a block device (a mac mini in firewire mass storage mode) to an image file, excluding all-null blocks (sparse file) to save space.
Also contains examples of thousands-separator number formatting (i.e. 10,000,000) and human-readable magnitude number formatting (i.e. 10.0GB) functions.
