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 ,
137.Sy device
138(in the case of block or character devices), and
139.Sy link
140(in the case of symbolic links).
141If
142.Sy time
143isn't provided, the current time will be used.
144If
145.Sy flags
146isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
147Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
148.It Fl f Ar free-files
149Ensure that a minimum of
150.Ar free-files
151free files (inodes) exist in the image.
152An optional
153.Ql %
154suffix may be provided to indicate that
155.Ar free-files
156indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
157.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
158Set the minimum size of the file system image to
159.Ar minimum-size .
160.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
161Set the maximum size of the file system image to
162.Ar maximum-size .
163An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
164than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
165.It Fl N Ar dbdir
166Use the user database text file
167.Pa master.passwd
168and group database text file
169.Pa group
170from
171.Ar dbdir ,
172rather than using the results from the system's
173.Xr getpwnam 3
174and
175.Xr getgrnam 3
176(and related) library calls.
177.It Fl o Ar fs-options
178Set file system specific options.
179.Ar fs-options
180is a comma separated list of options.
181Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
182.It Fl S Ar sector-size
183Set the file system sector size to
184.Ar sector-size .
185.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
186Defaults to 512.
187.It Fl s Ar image-size
188Set the size of the file system image to
189.Ar image-size .
190.It Fl t Ar fs-type
191Create an
192.Ar fs-type
193file system image.
194The following file system types are supported:
195.Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent
196.It Sy ffs
197BSD fast file system (default).
198.It Sy cd9660
199ISO 9660 file system.
200.El
201.It Fl x
202Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
203.El
204.Pp
205Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
206Two or more numbers may be separated by an
207.Dq x
208to indicate a product.
209Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
210.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
211.It b
212Block; multiply by 512
213.It k
214Kibi; multiply by 1024 (1 KiB)
215.It m
216Mebi; multiply by 1048576 (1 MiB)

219.It t
220Tebi; multiply by 1099511627776 (1 TiB)
221.It w
