it seems
        ibs=BYTES
               read up to BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
should be instead
        ibs=BYTES
               reset the input block size (default: 512)
or something...


Hmm I suppose a more direct description is more accurate.



Marking as "wishlist".

Patches welcomed.
