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 Ar debug-mask
110Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
111set in
112.Ar debug-mask .
113XXX: document these
114.It Fl F Ar specfile
115Use
116.Ar specfile
117as an
118.Xr mtree 8
119.Sq specfile
120specification.
121This option has no effect when the image is created from a mtree manifest
122rather than a directory.
123.Pp
124If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
125permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
126overridden by the specfile.
127An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
128conflicts with that of an existing entry.
129.Pp
130In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
131in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
132If the specfile entry is marked
133.Sy optional ,
134the specfile entry is ignored.
135Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
136necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
137specfile:
138.Sy type ,
139.Sy mode ,
140.Sy gname ,
141or
142.Sy gid ,
143and
144.Sy uname
145or
146.Sy uid ,
147and
148.Sy link
149(in the case of symbolic links).
150If
151.Sy time
152isn't provided, the current time will be used.
153If
154.Sy flags
155isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
156Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
157.It Fl f Ar free-files
158Ensure that a minimum of
159.Ar free-files
160free files (inodes) exist in the image.
161An optional
162.Ql %
163suffix may be provided to indicate that
164.Ar free-files
165indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
166.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
167Set the minimum size of the file system image to
168.Ar minimum-size .
169.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
170Set the maximum size of the file system image to
171.Ar maximum-size .
172An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
173than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
174.It Fl N Ar dbdir
175Use the user database text file
176.Pa master.passwd
177and group database text file
178.Pa group
179from
180.Ar dbdir ,
181rather than using the results from the system's
182.Xr getpwnam 3
183and
184.Xr getgrnam 3
185(and related) library calls.
186.It Fl o Ar fs-options
187Set file system specific options.
188.Ar fs-options
189is a comma separated list of options.
190Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
191.It Fl S Ar sector-size
192Set the file system sector size to
193.Ar sector-size .
194.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
195Defaults to 512.
196.It Fl s Ar image-size
197Set the size of the file system image to
198.Ar image-size .
199.It Fl t Ar fs-type
200Create an
201.Ar fs-type
202file system image.

209.El
210.It Fl x
211Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
212.El
213.Pp
214Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
215Two or more numbers may be separated by an
216.Dq x
217to indicate a product.
218Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
219.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
220.It b
221Block; multiply by 512
222.It k
