binary for all files
.It Fl t
Do not test if file system fits on the medium

Be verbose on standard error stream; more
.It Fl v
options add to verbosity
.It Fl i Ar inodes
Number of i-nodes (files)
.It Fl B Ar blocksize
Filesystem block size (in bytes)
.It Fl b Ar blocks
Filesystem size (in blocks)
.It Fl x Ar extra_space
Extra space after dynamic sizing (blocks and inodes)
.It Fl z Ar zone_shift
Logarithm of the size of a zone with respect to a zone.
With the default value of 0 zones are of the same size as blocks;
with 1, each zone is made of two blocks; etc.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
builds a file system and copies specified files to it.
The prototype file tells which directories and files to copy to it.
If the prototype file cannot be opened, and its name is just a string of
digits, an empty file system will be made with the specified number of
blocks.
A sample prototype file follows.
The text following the \fI#\fR sign in the example below is comment.
In real prototype files, comments are not allowed.

.Ed
.Pp
The first entry on each line (except the first 3 and the $ lines, which
terminate directories) is the name the file or directory will get on the
new file system.
Next comes its mode, with the first character being
.Cm -dbcs
for regular files, directories, block special files, character
special files, and symlinks, respectively.
The next two characters are used to specify the SETUID and SETGID bits, as
shown above.
The last three characters of the mode are the
.Cm rwx
protection bits, in octal notation.
.Pp
Following the mode are the uid and gid.
For special files, the major and minor devices are needed.
