63.Op Ar extra-directory ...
64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65The utility
66.Nm
67creates a file system image into
68.Ar image-file
69from the directory tree
70.Ar directory
71or from the mtree manifest
72.Ar manifest .
73If any optional directory trees are passed in the
74.Ar extra-directory
75arguments, then the directory tree of each argument will be merged
76into the
77.Ar directory
78or
79.Ar manifest
80first before creating
81.Ar image-file .
82No special devices or privileges are required to perform this task.
83.Pp
84The options are as follows:
85.Bl -tag -width flag
86.It Fl B Ar endian
87Set the byte order of the image to
88.Ar endian .
89Valid byte orders are
90.Ql 4321 ,
91.Ql big ,
92or
93.Ql be
94for big endian, and
95.Ql 1234 ,
96.Ql little ,
97or
98.Ql le
99for little endian.
100Some file systems may have a fixed byte order; in those cases this
101argument will be ignored.
102.It Fl b Ar free-blocks
103Ensure that a minimum of
104.Ar free-blocks
105free blocks exist in the image.
106An optional
107.Ql %
108suffix may be provided to indicate that
109.Ar free-blocks
110indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
111.It Fl D
112Treat duplicate paths in an mtree manifest as warnings not error.
113.It Fl d Ar debug-mask
114Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
115set in
116.Ar debug-mask .
117XXX: document these
118.It Fl F Ar mtree-specfile
119.Em This is almost certainly not the option you are looking for.
120To create an image from a list of files in an mtree format manifest,
121specify it as the last argument on the commandline, not as a the
122argument to
123.Fl F .
124.Pp
125Use
126.Ar mtree-specfile
127as an
128.Xr mtree 8
129.Sq specfile
130specification.
131This option has no effect when the image is created from a mtree manifest
132rather than a directory.
133.Pp
134If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
135permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
136overridden by the specfile.
137An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
138conflicts with that of an existing entry.
139.Pp
140In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
141in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
142If the specfile entry is marked
143.Sy optional ,
144the specfile entry is ignored.
145Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
146necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
147specfile:
148.Sy type ,
149.Sy mode ,
150.Sy gname ,
151or
152.Sy gid ,
153and
154.Sy uname
155or
156.Sy uid ,
157and
158.Sy link
159(in the case of symbolic links).
160If
161.Sy time
162isn't provided, the current time will be used.
163If
164.Sy flags
165isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
166Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
167.It Fl f Ar free-files
168Ensure that a minimum of
169.Ar free-files
170free files (inodes) exist in the image.
171An optional
172.Ql %
173suffix may be provided to indicate that
174.Ar free-files
175indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
176.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
177Set the minimum size of the file system image to
178.Ar minimum-size .
179.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
180Set the maximum size of the file system image to
181.Ar maximum-size .
182An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
183than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
184.It Fl N Ar userdb-dir
185Use the user database text file
186.Pa master.passwd
187and group database text file
188.Pa group
189from
190.Ar userdb-dir ,
191rather than using the results from the system's
192.Xr getpwnam 3
193and
194.Xr getgrnam 3
195(and related) library calls.
196.It Fl o Ar fs-options
197Set file system specific options.
198.Ar fs-options
199is a comma separated list of options.
200Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
201.It Fl p
202Deprecated.
203See the
204.Fl Z
205flag.
206.It Fl R Ar roundup-size
207Round the image up to
208.Ar roundup-size .
209.Ar roundup-size
210should be a multiple of the file system block size.
211This option only applies to the
212.Sy ffs
213file system type.
214.It Fl S Ar sector-size
215Set the file system sector size to
216.Ar sector-size .
217.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
218Defaults to 512.
219.It Fl s Ar image-size
220Set the size of the file system image to
221.Ar image-size .
222.It Fl T Ar timestamp
223Specify a timestamp to be set for all filesystem files and directories
224created so that repeatable builds are possible.
225The
226.Ar timestamp
227can be a
228.Pa pathname ,
229where the timestamps are derived from that file, or an integer
230value interpreted as the number of seconds from the Epoch.
231Note that timestamps specified in an
232.Xr mtree 5
233spec file, override the default timestamp.
234.It Fl t Ar fs-type
235Create an
236.Ar fs-type
237file system image.
238The following file system types are supported:
239.Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent

244.El
245.It Fl x
246Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
247.It Fl Z
248Create a sparse file for
249.Sy ffs .
250This is useful for virtual machine images.
251.El
252.Pp
253Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
254Two or more numbers may be separated by an
255.Dq x
256to indicate a product.
257Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
258.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
259.It b
260Block; multiply by 512
261.It k
262Kibi; multiply by 1024 (1 KiB)
