Sh DESCRIPTION
The utility
Nm
creates a file system image into
Ar image-file
from the directory tree
Ar directory .
If any optional directory trees are passed in the
Ar extra-directory
arguments, then the directory tree of each argument will be merged
into the
Ar directory
first before creating
Ar image-file .
No special devices or privileges are required to perform this task.
Pp
The options are as follows:
Bl -tag -width flag
It Fl B Ar endian
Set the byte order of the image to
Ar endian .
Valid byte orders are
Ql 4321 ,
Ql big ,
or
Ql be
for big endian, and
Ql 1234 ,
Ql little ,
or
Ql le
for little endian.
Some file systems may have a fixed byte order; in those cases this
argument will be ignored.
It Fl b Ar free-blocks
Ensure that a minimum of
Ar free-blocks
free blocks exist in the image.
An optional
Ql %
suffix may be provided to indicate that
Ar free-blocks
indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
It Fl d Ar debug-mask | comma-separated-debug-option
Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
set in
Ar debug-mask .
The mask can also be set by specifying a comma separated list of debugging
options.
These are:
Bl -tag -width X -offset indent -compact
It Ar debug_time
Print the time it takes to perform each step.
It Ar debug_walk_dir
Print each directory as it gets processed.
It Ar debug_walk_dir_node
Print each file as it gets processed.
It Ar debug_walk_dir_linkcheck
Print file information for files that have a link count > 1.
It Ar debug_dump_fsnodes
Dump information about the filesystem nodes.
It Ar debug_dump_fsnodes_verbose
Enable more detail if
Dv debug_dump_fsnodes
is enabled.
It Ar debug_fs_parse_opts
Print debugging information about specific filesystem option parsing.
It Ar debug_fs_makefs
Print nodes as they are created and enable buffer consistency checks.
It Ar debug_fs_validate
Enable file-system specific validation (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_create_image
Print image file creation stats (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_size_dir
Print directory size information (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_size_dir_node
Print directory size information per node (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_size_dir_add_dirent
Print directory size information as entries are added (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_populate
Print information at each directory population pass (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_populate_dirbuf
Dump the directory buffer (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_populate_node
Print information about each file during directory population (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_write_file
Print buffer informaion when writing files (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_write_file_block
Print block information when writing files (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_make_dirbuf
Print directory buffer information (ffs only).
It Ar debug_fs_write_inode
Print inode information (ffs only).
It Ar debug_buf_bread
Print block buffer information (ffs only).
It Ar debug_buf_bwrite
Print block write information (ffs only).
It Ar debug_buf_getblk
Print block allocaion information (ffs only).
It Ar debug_apply_specfile
Print information about each directory in the specfile.
It Ar debug_apply_specentry
Print information about each entry in the specfile.
It Ar debug_apply_speconly
Debug the
Fl x
special file exclusion.
El
It Fl F Ar mtree-specfile
Use
Ar mtree-specfile
as an
Xr mtree 8
Sq specfile
specification.
Pp
If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
overridden by the specfile.
An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
conflicts with that of an existing entry.
Pp
In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
If the specfile entry is marked
Sy optional ,
the specfile entry is ignored.
Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
specfile:
Sy type ,
Sy mode ,
Sy gname ,
or
Sy gid ,
and
Sy uname
or
Sy uid ,
Sy device
(in the case of block or character devices), and
Sy link
(in the case of symbolic links).
If
Sy time
isn't provided, the current time will be used.
If
Sy flags
isn't provided, the current file flags will be used.
Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
It Fl f Ar free-files
Ensure that a minimum of
Ar free-files
free files (inodes) exist in the image.
An optional
Ql %
suffix may be provided to indicate that
Ar free-files
indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
It Fl L
All symbolic links are followed.
It Fl M Ar minimum-size
Set the minimum size of the file system image to
Ar minimum-size .
It Fl m Ar maximum-size
Set the maximum size of the file system image to
Ar maximum-size .
An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
It Fl N Ar userdb-dir
Use the user database text file
Pa master.passwd
and group database text file
Pa group
from
Ar userdb-dir ,
rather than using the results from the system's
Xr getpwnam 3
and
Xr getgrnam 3
(and related) library calls.
It Fl O Ar offset
Instead of creating the file system at the beginning of the file, start
at offset.
Valid only for
Sy ffs
and
Sy msdos .
It Fl o Ar fs-options
Set file system specific options.
Ar fs-options
is a comma separated list of options.
Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
It Fl r
When merging multiple directories replace duplicate files with the last found.
It Fl S Ar sector-size
Set the file system sector size to
Ar sector-size .
Defaults to 512 for most file systems, but is 2048 for
Sy cd9660
and
Sy udf
for CD/DVD/BD optical media types.
It Fl s Ar image-size
Set the size of the file system image to
Ar image-size .
This is equivalent of setting both the minimum
Fl ( M )
and the maximum
Fl ( m )
sizes to
Ar image-size .
For
Sy ffs
and
Sy msdos
the
Ar offset
is not included on that size.
It Fl T Ar timestamp
Specify a timestamp to be set for all file system files and directories
created so that repeatable builds are possible.
The
Ar timestamp
can be a
Pa pathname ,
where the timestamps are derived from that file, a parseable date
for
Xr parsedate 3
(this option is not yet available in the tools build), or an integer
value interpreted as the number of seconds from the Epoch.
Note that timestamps specified in an
Xr mtree 5
spec file, override the default timestamp.
When this option is enabled, file systems that regularly use
Xr localtime 3
to convert times to the native format (such as udf and cd9660), use
Xr gmtime 3
instead with the specified timestamps so that they are immune to
timezone changes and get consistent timestamps.
It Fl t Ar fs-type
Create an
Ar fs-type
file system image.
The following file system types are supported:
Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent
It Sy cd9660
ISO 9660 file system.
It Sy chfs
Chip flash file system.
It Sy ffs
BSD fast file system (default).
It Sy msdos
FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 file system.
It Sy udf
ISO/Ecma UDF file system.
It Sy v7fs
7th Edition(V7) file system.
El
It Fl x
Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
Repeating this flag causes
Nm
to print a warning for each missing system nodes and exit with an error code
if there are any missing.
It Fl Z
Create a sparse file for
Sy ffs .
This is useful for virtual machine images.
El
Pp
Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
Two or more numbers may be separated by an
Sq x
to indicate a product.
Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
It b
Block; multiply by 512
It k
Kibi; multiply by 1024 (1 KiB)
It m
Mebi; multiply by 1048576 (1 MiB)
It g
Gibi; multiply by 1073741824 (1 GiB)
It t
Tebi; multiply by 1099511627776 (1 TiB)
It w
Word; multiply by the number of bytes in an integer
