NAME
       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 default
       size  is  in  bytes, but it can be flagged as kilobytes, blocks, megabytes, or gigabytes 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 truncated
              to the desired size.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.

                                                                                       xfs_mkfile(8)
