48.Op Fl b Ar free-blocks
49.Op Fl d Ar debug-mask

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

199.El
200.It Fl x
201Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
202.El
203.Pp
204Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
205Two or more numbers may be separated by an
206.Dq x
207to indicate a product.
208Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
209.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
210.It b
211Block; multiply by 512
212.It k
213Kibi; multiply by 1024 (1 KiB)
