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)
