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 .
69If any optional directory trees are passed in the
70.Ar extra-directory
71arguments, then the directory tree of each argument will be merged
72into the
73.Ar directory
74first before creating
75.Ar image-file .
76No special devices or privileges are required to perform this task.
77.Pp
78The options are as follows:
79.Bl -tag -width flag
80.It Fl B Ar endian
81Set the byte order of the image to
82.Ar endian .
83Valid byte orders are
84.Ql 4321 ,
85.Ql big ,
86or
87.Ql be
88for big endian, and
89.Ql 1234 ,
90.Ql little ,
91or
92.Ql le
93for little endian.
94Some file systems may have a fixed byte order; in those cases this
95argument will be ignored.
96.It Fl b Ar free-blocks
97Ensure that a minimum of
98.Ar free-blocks
99free blocks exist in the image.
100An optional
101.Ql %
102suffix may be provided to indicate that
103.Ar free-blocks
104indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
105.It Fl d Ar debug-mask
106Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
107set in
108.Ar debug-mask .
109XXX: document these
110.It Fl F Ar mtree-specfile
111Use
112.Ar mtree-specfile
113as an
114.Xr mtree 8
115.Sq specfile
116specification.
117.Pp
118If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
119permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
120overridden by the specfile.
121An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
122conflicts with that of an existing entry.
123.Pp
124In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
125in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
126If the specfile entry is marked
127.Sy optional ,
128the specfile entry is ignored.
129Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
130necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
131specfile:
132.Sy type ,
133.Sy mode ,
134.Sy gname ,
135or
136.Sy gid ,
137and
138.Sy uname
139or
140.Sy uid ,
141.Sy device
142(in the case of block or character devices), and
143.Sy link
144(in the case of symbolic links).
145If
146.Sy time
147isn't provided, the current time will be used.
148If
149.Sy flags
150isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
151Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
152.It Fl f Ar free-files
153Ensure that a minimum of
154.Ar free-files
155free files (inodes) exist in the image.
156An optional
157.Ql %
158suffix may be provided to indicate that
159.Ar free-files
160indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
161.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
162Set the minimum size of the file system image to
163.Ar minimum-size .
164.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
165Set the maximum size of the file system image to
166.Ar maximum-size .
167An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
168than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
169.It Fl N Ar userdb-dir
170Use the user database text file
171.Pa master.passwd
172and group database text file
173.Pa group
174from
175.Ar userdb-dir ,
176rather than using the results from the system's
177.Xr getpwnam 3
178and
179.Xr getgrnam 3
180(and related) library calls.
181.It Fl O Ar offset
182Instead of creating the file system at the beginning of the file, start
183at offset.
184Valid only for
185.Sy ffs
186and
187.Sy msdos .
188.It Fl o Ar fs-options
189Set file system specific options.
190.Ar fs-options
191is a comma separated list of options.
192Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
193.It Fl r
194When merging multiple directories replace duplicate files with the last found.
195.It Fl S Ar sector-size
196Set the file system sector size to
197.Ar sector-size .
198.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
199Defaults to 512.
200.It Fl s Ar image-size
201Set the size of the file system image to
202.Ar image-size .
203.It Fl T Ar timestamp
204Specify a timestamp to be set for all file system files and directories
205created so that repeatable builds are possible.
206The
207.Ar timestamp
208can be a
209.Pa pathname ,
210where the timestamps are derived from that file, a parseable date
211for
212.Xr parsedate 3
213(this option is not yet available in the tools build), or an integer
214value interpreted as the number of seconds from the Epoch.
215Note that timestamps specified in an
216.Xr mtree 5
217spec file, override the default timestamp.
218.It Fl t Ar fs-type
219Create an
220.Ar fs-type
221file system image.
222The following file system types are supported:
223.Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent

245Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
246Two or more numbers may be separated by an
247.Dq x
248to indicate a product.
