mkcramfs(8) 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.
