mkfile: Create a file of a given size and unit (bytes, KB, MB, GB).
$ mkfile -n ${size}${select} ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "mkfile -n ${size}${select} ${filename}" creates a file with the specified name, size, and content.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "mkfile" is the command to create a file.
- "-n" is an option that specifies that the file should not be filled with data.
- "${size}${select}" is a placeholder for the size and selection values that you need to specify based on your requirements.
- "size" represents the size of the file you want to create. For example, "10M" represents a file size of 10 megabytes.
- "select" is used to choose the unit for the size. Some common options are:
- "b" for bytes
- "k" for kilobytes
- "M" for megabytes
- "G" for gigabytes
- "T" for terabytes
- You need to replace "${size}${select}" with the actual size and selection values you want to use when executing the command.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the desired filename. You need to replace it with the name you want to give to the file when executing the command.
