How to make a SD card image using command line

sdcard.image.sh

dd if=/dev/sdb of=imagem.img bs=1MB

of = output
if = input
bs = Block Size

example (tested):

# to make an image
sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=~/Desktop/image.iso bs=1MB

# to write the image to the sd card 
unmount all partitions (mmcblk0p*) and:
sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 if=~/Desktop/image.iso bs=1MB


# ps.: To view all mounted partition type:
df -h
