SYNOPSIS

       mkzftree [OPTIONS]... INPUT OUTPUT


DESCRIPTION

       Takes  an input file tree (INPUT) and create a correspond­
       ing compressed file tree (OUTPUT) that can be used with an
       appropriately  patched mkisofs(8) to create a transparent-
       compression iso9660/RockRidge filesystem  using  the  "ZF"
       compression records.

       -f, --force
              Always  compress all files, even if they get larger
              when compressed.

       -z level, --level level
              Select compression level (1-9, default is 9).

       -u, --uncompress
              Uncompress an already compressed tree.  This can be
              used  to  read  a compressed filesystem on a system
              which cannot read them natively.

       -p parallelism, --parallelism parallelism
              Compress in parallel.  The parallelism value  indi­
              cates  how  many compression threads are allowed to
              run.

       -x, --one-filesystem
              Do not  cross  filesystem  boundaries,  but  create
              directory stubs at mount points.

       -X, --strict-one-filesystem
              Do not cross filesystem boundaries, and do not cre­
              ate directory stubs at mount points.

       -l, --local
              Do not recurse into subdirectories, but create  the
              directories themselves.

       -L, --strict-local
              Do not recurse into subdirectories, and do not cre­
              ate directories.

       -F, --file
              Indicates that  INPUT  may  not  necessarily  be  a
              directory;  this allows operation on a single file.
              Note especially that if -F is specified, and  INPUT
              is  a  symlink,  the  symlink itself will be copied
              rather than whatever it happens to point to.

       -s, --sloppy
              Treat file modes, times and ownership data as  less
              Display a brief help message.

       -w, --version
              Display the release version.


BUGS

       Long  options (beginning with --) may not work on all sys­
       tems.  See the message printed out by mkzftree -h  to  see
       if this applies to your system.

       Inode  change  times  (ctimes)  are not copied.  This is a
       system limitation and applies to all file copy programs.

       If  using  the  parallel  option  (-z)  the  access  times
       (atimes)  on  directories may or may not be copied.  If it
       is important that the atimes  on  directories  are  copied
       exactly, avoid using -z.
