MKPAQFS(8) MKPAQFS(8)
NAME
mkpaqfs - make a compressed read-only file system
SYNOPSIS
mkpaqfs [ -u ] [ -1-9 ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -l label ] [ -o
file ] [ source ]
DESCRIPTION
Mkpaqfs copies files from the file tree source (default .)
to the paqfs(4) file system archive file.
The files and directory structure are divided into blocksize
(default 4096) byte blocks. Larger blocks make large files
more compact but take longer to access. Blocksize must be
in the range of 512 bytes to 512K bytes. If the -u option
is set, the blocks are not compressed. Otherwise each block
is compressed using the flate(2) compression algorithm. The
compression level can be set using the flags -1 to -9
(defaults to -6). The -l option embeds a label of up to 32
bytes within the file header and may be useful for identify-
ing the file system.
