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

197.It Fl x
198Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
199.El
200.Pp
201Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
202Two or more numbers may be separated by an
203.Dq x
204to indicate a product.
205Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
206.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
207.It b
208Block; multiply by 512
209.It k
