What pattern(s) does non-destructive badblocks -n write?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
man badblocks says:
-n Use non-destructive read-write mode. By default only a non-
destructive read-only test is done. This option must not be
combined with the -w option, as they are mutually exclusive.
This answer says:
The non-destructive read-write test works by overwriting data, then reading to verify, and then writing the original data back afterwards.
What pattern(s) are used by -n if none are explicitly specified by -t?

The default pattern with -n is a random pattern:
const unsigned int patterns = ~0 ;
(see pattern_fill for the equivalence to “random”).
In destructive mode, four patterns are used:
const unsigned int patterns = 0xaa, 0x55, 0xff, 0x00;
