Commands

• file
  Creates a new file.

  Usage

  make file <FILENAME> [options]

  Arguments

  • <FILENAME>
    The name of the file to create.

  Options

  • -b (--buffer-size)
    Specifies the number of bytes that should be buffered for reads and writes to the file. [default: 4096]
  • -w (--write-through)
    Indicates that the system should write through any intermediate cache and go directly to disk.
  • -r (--random-access)
    Indicates that the file is accessed randomly. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching.
  • -s (--sequential-scan)
    Indicates that the file is to be accessed sequentially from beginning to end. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching. If an application moves the file pointer for random access, optimum caching may not occur; however, correct operation is still guaranteed. Specifying this flag can increase performance in some cases.
  • -e (--encrypted)
    Indicates that a file is encrypted and can be decrypted only by using the same user account used for encryption.
  • /? (/h, -h, --help)
    Show help and usage information.
