NAME
       mkcramfs - make a compressed ROM file system

SYNOPSIS
       mkcramfs [-h] [-b blksize] [-e edition] [-i file] [-n name] dirname outfile

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  documents briefly the mkcramfs command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be
       used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

       mkcramfs constructs a CramFs from the contents of dirname.  The image of the resulting file system is placed in outfile.

       -h     Give a brief help message.

       -E     Make all warnings errors (non-zero exit status).

       -b blksize
	      Set the block size of the generated file system.

       -e edition
	      Set the edition number (part of fsid).

       -i file
	      Insert a file image into the filesystem (requires Linux >= 2.4.0).

       -n name
	      Set the name of the CramFs filesystem.

       -p     Pad by 512 bytes for boot code.

       -s     Sort directory entries (old option, ignored).

       -v     Turn on verbose mode.
