NAME

       xfs_mkfile - create an XFS file

SYNOPSIS

       xfs_mkfile [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -p ] size[k|b|m|g] filename ...
       xfs_mkfile -V

DESCRIPTION

       xfs_mkfile  creates one or more files. The file is padded with zeroes by default.  The default size is in
       bytes, but it can be flagged as kilobytes, blocks, megabytes, or  gigabytes  with  the  k,  b,  m,  or  g
       suffixes, respectively.

OPTIONS

       -v     Verbose. Report the names and sizes of created files.

       -n     No  bytes.  Create a holey file - that is, do not write out any data, just seek to end of file and
              write a block.

       -p     Preallocate.  The file is preallocated, then  overwritten  with  zeroes,  then  truncated  to  the
              desired size.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.

                                                                                                   xfs_mkfile(8)
