NAME

mkpaqfs − make a compressed read-only file system

SYNOPSIS

­mkpaqfs [ ­-u ] [ ­-b ­blocksize ] [ ­-l ­label ] [ ­-o ­file ] [ ­source ]

DESCRIPTION

­Mkpaqfs copies files from the file tree ­source (default .) to a 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 52K bytes.  If the ­-u option is set, the blocks are not compressed.  Otherwise each block is compressed using the flate(2) compression algorithm. The ­-l option embeds a label of up to 32 bytes within the file header and may be useful for identifying the file system.
