NAME

mklost+found − make a lost+found directory for fsck(1M)

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/mklost+found

DESCRIPTION

The mklost+found command creates a directory named lost+found in the current directory.  It also creates several empty files which are then removed to provide empty slots for the fsck command (see fsck(1M)).

For an HFS file system, the mklost+found command is not normally needed since the mkfs command automatically creates the lost+found directory when a new file system is created (see mkfs(1M)).

AUTHOR

mklost+found was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.
