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

174is a comma separated list of options.
175Valid file system specific options are detailed below.

177Set the file system sector size to
178.Ar sector-size .
179.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
180Defaults to 512.
181.It Fl s Ar image-size
182Set the size of the file system image to
183.Ar image-size .

186.Ar fs-type
187file system image.

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:
