xfs_mkfile - create an XFS file
SYNOPSIS
xfs_mkfile [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -p ] size[k|b|m|g] filename ...
xfs_mkfile -V
DESCRIPTION
xfs_mkfile creates one or more files. The file is padded with zeroes by default. The de-
fault size is in bytes, but it can be flagged as kilobytes, blocks, megabytes, or giga-
bytes with the k, b, m, or g suffixes, respectively.
OPTIONS
-v Verbose. Report the names and sizes of created files.
-n No bytes. Create a holey file - that is, do not write out any data, just seek to
end of file and write a block.
-p Preallocate. The file is preallocated, then overwritten with zeroes, then trun-
cated to the desired size.
-V Prints the version number and exits.
