NAME
       mkfile - create a file

SYNOPSIS
       mkfile [ -nv ] size[b|k|m] filename ...

DESCRIPTION
       mkfile  creates	one  or	 more  files that are suitable for use as NFS-
       mounted swap areas.  The sticky bit is set, and the file is padded with
       zeroes  by  default.  The default size unit is bytes, but the following
       suffixes may be used to multiply	 by  the  given	 factor:  b  (512),  k
       (1024), and m (1048576).

OPTIONS
       -n     Create  an  empty	 filename.  The size is noted, but disk blocks
	      aren't allocated until data is written to them.

       -v     Verbose.	Report the names and sizes of created files.

WARNING
       If a client's swap file is  removed  and	 recreated,  it	 must  be  re-
       exported	 before the client will be able to access it.  This action may
       only be done when the client is not running.
