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