mkfile

mkfile(1M)                                                                                                                              mkfile(1M)

NAME

       mkfile - create a file

SYNOPSIS

       mkfile [-nv] size [g | k | b | m]   filename...

       mkfile  creates  one  or  more files that are suitable for use as NFS-mounted swap areas, or as local swap areas. When a root user executes
       mkfile(), the sticky bit is set and the file is padded with zeros by default.   When non-root users execute  mkfile(), they  must  manually
       set the sticky bit using  chmod(1). The default size is in bytes, but it can be flagged as gigabytes, kilobytes, blocks, or megabytes, with
       the g, k, b, or m suffixes, respectively.

       -n       Create an empty filename. The size is noted, but disk blocks are not allocated until data is written to them. Files  created  with
                this option cannot be swapped over local UFS mounts.

       -v       Verbose.  Report the names and sizes of created files.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mkfile when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE         |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability                 |SUNWcsu                      |
