     MKPAQFS(8)                                             MKPAQFS(8)

     NAME
          mkpaqfs - make a compressed read-only file system

     SYNOPSIS
          mkpaqfs [ -u ] [ -1-9 ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -l label ] [ -o
          file ] [ source ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Mkpaqfs copies files from the file tree source (default .)
          to the paqfs(4) file system archive file.

          The files and directory structure are divided into blocksize
          (default 4096) byte blocks.  Larger blocks make large files
          more compact but take longer to access.  Blocksize must be
          in the range of 512 bytes to 512K bytes.  If the -u option
          is set, the blocks are not compressed.  Otherwise each block
          is compressed using the flate(2) compression algorithm.  The
          compression level can be set using the flags -1 to -9
          (defaults to -6).  The -l option embeds a label of up to 32
          bytes within the file header and may be useful for identify-
          ing the file system.
