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.

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

       -n name
              Set the name of the CramFs filesystem.

       -p     Pad by 512 bytes for boot code.
