60.Ar directory | manifest
61.Op Ar extra-directory ...
62.Sh DESCRIPTION
63The utility
64.Nm
65creates a file system image into
66.Ar image-file
67from the directory tree
68.Ar directory
69or from the mtree manifest
70.Ar manifest .
71If optional directory tree
72.Ar extra-directory
73is passed, then the directory tree of each argument will be merged
74into the
75.Ar directory
76or
77.Ar manifest
78first before creating
79.Ar image-file .
80No special devices or privileges are required to perform this task.
81.Pp
82The options are as follows:
83.Bl -tag -width flag
84.It Fl B Ar byte-order
85Set the byte order of the image to
86.Ar byte-order .
87Valid byte orders are
88.Ql 4321 ,
89.Ql big ,
90or
91.Ql be
92for big endian, and
93.Ql 1234 ,
94.Ql little ,
95or
96.Ql le
97for little endian.
98Some file systems may have a fixed byte order; in those cases this
99argument will be ignored.
100.It Fl b Ar free-blocks
101Ensure that a minimum of
102.Ar free-blocks
103free blocks exist in the image.
104An optional
105.Ql %
106suffix may be provided to indicate that
107.Ar free-blocks
108indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
109.It Fl D
110Treat duplicate paths in an mtree manifest as warnings not error.
111.It Fl d Ar debug-mask
112Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
113set in
114.Ar debug-mask .
115XXX: document these
116.It Fl F Ar specfile
117Use
118.Ar specfile
119as an
120.Xr mtree 8
121.Sq specfile
122specification.
123This option has no effect when the image is created from a mtree manifest
124rather than a directory.
125.Pp
126If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
127permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
128overridden by the specfile.
129An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
130conflicts with that of an existing entry.
131.Pp
132In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
133in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
134If the specfile entry is marked
135.Sy optional ,
136the specfile entry is ignored.
137Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
138necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
139specfile:
140.Sy type ,
141.Sy mode ,
142.Sy gname ,
143or
144.Sy gid ,
145and
146.Sy uname
147or
148.Sy uid ,
149and
150.Sy link
151(in the case of symbolic links).
152If
153.Sy time
154isn't provided, the current time will be used.
155If
156.Sy flags
157isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
158Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
159.It Fl f Ar free-files
160Ensure that a minimum of
161.Ar free-files
162free files (inodes) exist in the image.
163An optional
164.Ql %
165suffix may be provided to indicate that
166.Ar free-files
167indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
168.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
169Set the minimum size of the file system image to
170.Ar minimum-size .
171.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
172Set the maximum size of the file system image to
173.Ar maximum-size .
174An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
175than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
176.It Fl N Ar dbdir
177Use the user database text file
178.Pa master.passwd
179and group database text file
180.Pa group
181from
182.Ar dbdir ,
183rather than using the results from the system's
184.Xr getpwnam 3
185and
186.Xr getgrnam 3
187(and related) library calls.
188.It Fl o Ar fs-options
189Set file system specific options.
190.Ar fs-options
191is a comma separated list of options.
192Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
193.It Fl p
194Deprecated.
195See the
196.Fl Z
197flag.
198.It Fl S Ar sector-size
199Set the file system sector size to
200.Ar sector-size .
201.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
202Defaults to 512.
203.It Fl s Ar image-size
204Set the size of the file system image to
205.Ar image-size .
206.It Fl t Ar fs-type
207Create an
208.Ar fs-type
209file system image.

216.El
217.It Fl x
218Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
219.It Fl Z
220Create the image as a sparse file.
221.El
222.Pp
223Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
224Two or more numbers may be separated by an
225.Dq x
226to indicate a product.
227Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
228.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
229.It b
230Block; multiply by 512
231.It k
