NAME
       mkcramfs - make a compressed ROM file system


SYNOPSIS
       mkcramfs  [-h]  [-b  blksize]  [-e edition] [-i file] [-n name] dirname
       outfile


DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the mkcramfs command.   This	manual
       page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used
       by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

       mkcramfs constructs a CramFs from the contents of dirname.   The  image
       of the resulting file system is placed in outfile.
