NAME
crfile - Create arbitrary sized files
SYNOPSIS
crfile -f
filename
-s
size
[-w[len] | -n]
DESCRIPTION
crfile
is used to create a file of the specified size, filled with random
ASCII characters. The
-n
switch allows the creation of files padded with null characters
(ie. containing large 'holes') that have an apparent length of the
specified size, but contain only one random character.
OPTIONS
- -f filename
-
specifies the file to be created. If the file exists, an
error is generated.
- -s size
-
size is the size of the file, in bytes
- -wlen
-
wrap each line of output at len characters. If len
omitted, wrap at 80 characters.
- -n
-
Pad the file with null characters instead of random ASCII text. This
allows for the rapid creation of large files (useful for verifying
that programs can deal with files > 2GB in size, for example).
