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
119Use
120.Ar mtree-specfile
121as an
122.Xr mtree 8
123.Sq specfile
124specification.
125This option has no effect when the image is created from a mtree manifest
126rather than a directory.
127.Pp
128If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
129permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
130overridden by the specfile.
131An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
132conflicts with that of an existing entry.
133.Pp
134In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
135in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
136If the specfile entry is marked
137.Sy optional ,
138the specfile entry is ignored.
139Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
140necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
141specfile:
142.Sy type ,
143.Sy mode ,
144.Sy gname ,
145or
146.Sy gid ,
147and
148.Sy uname
149or
150.Sy uid ,
151and
152.Sy link
153(in the case of symbolic links).
154If
155.Sy time
156isn't provided, the current time will be used.
157If
158.Sy flags
159isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
160Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
161.It Fl f Ar free-files
162Ensure that a minimum of
163.Ar free-files
164free files (inodes) exist in the image.
165An optional
166.Ql %
167suffix may be provided to indicate that
168.Ar free-files
169indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
170.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
171Set the minimum size of the file system image to
172.Ar minimum-size .
173.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
174Set the maximum size of the file system image to
175.Ar maximum-size .
176An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
177than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
178.It Fl N Ar userdb-dir
179Use the user database text file
180.Pa master.passwd
181and group database text file
182.Pa group
183from
184.Ar userdb-dir ,
185rather than using the results from the system's
186.Xr getpwnam 3
187and
188.Xr getgrnam 3
189(and related) library calls.
190.It Fl o Ar fs-options
191Set file system specific options.
192.Ar fs-options
193is a comma separated list of options.
194Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
195.It Fl p
196Deprecated.
197See the
198.Fl Z
199flag.
200.It Fl R Ar roundup-size
201Round the image up to
202.Ar roundup-size .
203.Ar roundup-size
204should be a multiple of the file system block size.
205This option only applies to the
206.Sy ffs
207file system type.
208.It Fl S Ar sector-size
209Set the file system sector size to
210.Ar sector-size .
211.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
212Defaults to 512.
213.It Fl s Ar image-size
214Set the size of the file system image to
215.Ar image-size .
216.It Fl T Ar timestamp
217Specify a timestamp to be set for all filesystem files and directories
218created so that repeatable builds are possible.
219The
220.Ar timestamp
221can be a
222.Pa pathname ,
223where the timestamps are derived from that file, or an integer
224value interpreted as the number of seconds from the Epoch.
225Note that timestamps specified in an
226.Xr mtree 5
227spec file, override the default timestamp.
228.It Fl t Ar fs-type
229Create an
230.Ar fs-type
231file system image.
232The following file system types are supported:
233.Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent

235BSD fast file system (default).
236.It Sy cd9660
237ISO 9660 file system.
238.El
239.It Fl x
240Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
241.It Fl Z
242Create a sparse file for
243.Sy ffs .
244This is useful for virtual machine images.
245.El
246.Pp
247Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
248Two or more numbers may be separated by an
249.Dq x
250to indicate a product.
251Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
252.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
253.It b
254Block; multiply by 512
255.It k
256Kibi; multiply by 1024 (1 KiB)
257.It m
258Mebi; multiply by 1048576 (1 MiB)
259.It g
260Gibi; multiply by 1073741824 (1 GiB)
