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.

       -h     Give a brief help message.

       -E     Make all warnings errors (non-zero exit status).

              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.
