NAME
       extendfs - extend a file system size (generic)

SYNOPSIS
       FStype] size] special

DESCRIPTION
       If  the original file system image created on special does not make use
       of all of the available space, can be used to increase the capacity  of
       a  file	system	by  updating  the file system structure to include the
       extra space.

       The command-line parameter special specifies the device special file of
       either  a  logical volume or a disk partition.  The special must be un-
       mounted before can be run (see mount(1M)).

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Specify the file system type on which to operate (see
			fstyp(1M) and fs_wrapper(5)).  If this option  is  not
			included  on  the  command  line, then the file system
			type is determined from the file

	      Query the size of
			special.  No file system extension will be done.

	      Verbose flag.

	      Specifies the number of
			blocks to be added to the file system.	If size is not
			specified, the maximum possible size is used.

EXAMPLES
       To  increase the capacity of a file system created on a logical volume,
       enter:
