DESCRIPTION
xfs_mkfile creates one or more files. The file is padded with zeroes by default. The
default size is in bytes, but it can be flagged as kilobytes, blocks, megabytes, or giga‐
bytes with the k, b, m, or g suffixes, respectively.
OPTIONS
-v Verbose. Report the names and sizes of created files.
-n No bytes. Create a holey file - that is, do not write out any data, just seek to
end of file and write a block.
-p Preallocate. The file is preallocated, then overwritten with zeroes, then trun‐
cated to the desired size.
-V Prints the version number and exits.
