mkpaqfs - make a compressed read-only file system mkpaqfs [ -u ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -l label ] [ -o file ] [ source ] Mkpaqfs copies files from the file tree source (default . ) to the paqfs (4) file system archive file .

The files and directory structure are divided into blocksize (default 4096 ) byte blocks. Larger blocks make large files more compact but take longer to access. Blocksize must be in the range of 512 bytes to 512K bytes. If the -u option is set, the blocks are not compressed. Otherwise each block is compressed using the flate (2) compression algorithm. The -l option embeds a label of up to 32 bytes within the file header and may be useful for identifying the file system.
