ATL_MKSPARSE(1T)                 USER COMMANDS                 ATL_MKSPARSE(1T)



NAME
        atl_mksparse - remove zeroes from Aviator terrain data files

SYNOPSIS
        atl_mksparse [-v] filename ...

DESCRIPTION
        atl_mksparse removes zeroes from one or move Aviator terrain data
        files creating sparse data files.  Sparse files take up less disk
        space than normal files, since any zeroes in the file are not stored
        on the disk.  To find out the size of the data file, the ls command
        should be used with the -s option.

        atl_mksparse will only operate on files with filenames of ???_???
        or ???_???.c32 where ? is a number.

OPTIONS
        -v      Produces a verbose output containing a list of files that have
                been made sparse and some internal information.

FILES
        /usr/games/aviator/terrain/???_???
        /usr/games/aviator/terrain/???_???.c32

SEE ALSO
        ls(1V)
