NAME
     xfs_mkfile - create an XFS file

SYNOPSIS
     xfs_mkfile [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -p ] size[k|b|m|g] filename ...
     xfs_mkfile -V

DESCRIPTION
     xfs_mkfile creates one or more files. The file is padded with zeroes by de-
     fault.   The  default size is in bytes, but it can be flagged as kilobytes,
     blocks, megabytes, or gigabytes with the k, b, m, or  g  suffixes,  respec-
     tively.

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  ze-
	    roes, then truncated to the desired size.

     -V     Prints the version number and exits.
