NAME
     dfilemaker - generate random files

SYNOPSIS
     dfilemaker <destination_path>

DESCRIPTION
     dfilemaker  creates  a number of random directory trees with subdirectories
     and files of various sizes, that is useful for testing.

     Directory trees are created under destination_path, which must be a  direc-
     tory.

     destination_path
	    Directory under which the new directory tree will be created.

OPTIONS
     -d, --depth=*min*-*max*
	    Specify  the  depth  of  the file system tree to generate. The depth
	    will be selected at random within the bounds of min and max. The de-
	    fault depth is set to 10 min, 20 max.

     -f, --fill=*type*
	    Specify the fill pattern of the file. Current options available are:
	    random, true, false, and alternate. random will fill the file  using
	    urandom(4).  true will fill the file with a 0xFF pattern. false will
	    fill the file with a 0x00 pattern.	alternate  will  fill  the  file
	    with a 0xAA pattern. The default fill is random.

     -i, --seed=*integer*
	    Specify  the  seed	to use for random number generation. This can be
	    used to create reproducible test runs. The default is to generate  a
	    random seed.

     -s, --size=*min*-*max*
	    Specify  the file sizes to generate. The file size will be chosen at
	    random random within the bounds of min and	max.  The  default  file
	    size is set from 1MB to 5MB.

     -h, --help
	    Print a brief message listing the dfilemaker(1) options and usage.

     -v, --version
	    Print version information and exit.
