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

196.Ar sector-size .
197.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
198Defaults to 512.

227.El
228.Pp
229Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
230Two or more numbers may be separated by an
231.Dq x
232to indicate a product.
233Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
