man mkcramfs (Administration système) - make a compressed ROM file system

NAME

mkcramfs - make a compressed ROM file system

SYNOPSIS

mkcramfs [-h] [-b blksize] [-e edition] [-i file] [-n name] dirname outfile

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mkcramfs command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

mkcramfs constructs a CramFs from the contents of dirname. The image of the resulting file system is placed in outfile.

-b blksize Set the block size of the generated file system.
-e edition Set the edition number (part of fsid).
-i file Insert a file image into the filesystem (requires Linux >= 2.4.0).
-n name Set the name of the CramFs filesystem.
-p
Pad by 512 bytes for boot code.
-s
Sort directory entries (old option, ignored).
-v
Turn on verbose mode.
-z
