Is there any CP/M equivalent to Unix/Linux "dd"

I use 'auxd', the serial port server from John Elliott's libdsk suite,
to let libdsk tools running on a Linux PC to pull full disc images over
a serial link from the CP/M machine.

(On an Amstrad PCW, so I've not tried the generic CP/M version
AUXDCPM.COM.)

(Obviously this won't be as high-fidelity as a flux image from something
like a Greaseweazle.)
