65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The utility
67.Nm
68creates a file system image into
69.Ar image-file
70from the directory tree
71.Ar directory
72or from the mtree manifest
73.Ar manifest .
74If any optional directory trees are passed in the
75.Ar extra-directory
76arguments, then the directory tree of each argument will be merged
77into the
78.Ar directory
79or
80.Ar manifest
81first before creating
82.Ar image-file .
83No special devices or privileges are required to perform this task.
84.Pp
85The options are as follows:
86.Bl -tag -width flag
87.It Fl B Ar endian
88Set the byte order of the image to
89.Ar endian .
90Valid byte orders are
91.Ql 4321 ,
92.Ql big ,
93or
94.Ql be
95for big endian, and
96.Ql 1234 ,
97.Ql little ,
98or
99.Ql le
100for little endian.
101Some file systems may have a fixed byte order; in those cases this
102argument will be ignored.
103.It Fl b Ar free-blocks
104Ensure that a minimum of
105.Ar free-blocks
106free blocks exist in the image.
107An optional
108.Ql %
109suffix may be provided to indicate that
110.Ar free-blocks
111indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
112.It Fl D
113Treat duplicate paths in an mtree manifest as warnings not error.
114.It Fl d Ar debug-mask
115Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
116set in
117.Ar debug-mask .
118XXX: document these
119.It Fl F Ar mtree-specfile
120.Em This is almost certainly not the option you are looking for.
121To create an image from a list of files in an mtree format manifest,
122specify it as the last argument on the commandline, not as a the
123argument to
124.Fl F .
125.Pp
126Use
127.Ar mtree-specfile
128as an
129.Xr mtree 8
130.Sq specfile
131specification.
132This option has no effect when the image is created from a mtree manifest
133rather than a directory.
134.Pp
135If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
136permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
137overridden by the specfile.
138An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
139conflicts with that of an existing entry.
140.Pp
141In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
142in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
143If the specfile entry is marked
144.Sy optional ,
145the specfile entry is ignored.
146Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
147necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
148specfile:
149.Sy type ,
150.Sy mode ,
151.Sy gname ,
152or
153.Sy gid ,
154and
155.Sy uname
156or
157.Sy uid ,
158and
159.Sy link
160(in the case of symbolic links).
161If
162.Sy time
163isn't provided, the current time will be used.
164If
165.Sy flags
166isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
167Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
168.It Fl f Ar free-files
169Ensure that a minimum of
170.Ar free-files
171free files (inodes) exist in the image.
172An optional
173.Ql %
174suffix may be provided to indicate that
175.Ar free-files
176indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
177.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
178Set the minimum size of the file system image to
179.Ar minimum-size .
180.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
181Set the maximum size of the file system image to
182.Ar maximum-size .
183An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
184than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
185.It Fl N Ar userdb-dir
186Use the user database text file
187.Pa master.passwd
188and group database text file
189.Pa group
190from
191.Ar userdb-dir ,
192rather than using the results from the system's
193.Xr getpwnam 3
194and
195.Xr getgrnam 3
196(and related) library calls.
197.It Fl O Ar offset
198Instead of creating the filesystem at the beginning of the file, start
199at offset.
200Valid only for
201.Sy ffs
202and
203.Sy msdos .
204.It Fl o Ar fs-options
205Set file system specific options.
206.Ar fs-options
207is a comma separated list of options.
208Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
209.It Fl p
210Deprecated.
211See the
212.Fl Z
213flag.
214.It Fl R Ar roundup-size
215Round the image up to
216.Ar roundup-size .
217.Ar roundup-size
218should be a multiple of the file system block size.
219This option only applies to the
220.Sy ffs
221file system type.
222.It Fl S Ar sector-size
223Set the file system sector size to
224.Ar sector-size .
225.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
226Defaults to 512.
227.It Fl s Ar image-size
228Set the size of the file system image to
229.Ar image-size .
230.It Fl T Ar timestamp
231Specify a timestamp to be set for all filesystem files and directories
232created so that repeatable builds are possible.
233The
234.Ar timestamp
235can be a
236.Pa pathname ,
237where the timestamps are derived from that file, or an integer
238value interpreted as the number of seconds from the Epoch.
239Note that timestamps specified in an
240.Xr mtree 5
241spec file, override the default timestamp.
242.It Fl t Ar fs-type
243Create an
244.Ar fs-type
245file system image.
246The following file system types are supported:
247.Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent

257.It Fl Z
258Create a sparse file for
259.Sy ffs .
260This is useful for virtual machine images.
261.El
262.Pp
263Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
264Two or more numbers may be separated by an
265.Dq x
266to indicate a product.
267Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
268.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
269.It b
