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

DESCRIPTION
xfs_mkfile creates one or more files. The file is padded with zeroes by default. 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,
respectively.
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 zeroes, then truncated to the desired
size.
-V Prints the version number and exits.
