See the man page for make - there are probably subtle differences for each OS, so reading your man page would be better than for me to show a link to one that may not be right for you.

I think he is talking about making a file not using make files. If you want to create a file, use touch.

yes in unix there is a way to make a file of a certain size too...

In HPUX, it is called "prealloc"... sometimes used for place holders or even used to overwrite a disk or a tape.

There is a make command but I dont think you want that one.
