        !            12: .B mkproto
        !            13: special proto
        !            14: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            15: .I Mkproto
        !            16: is used to bootstrap a new file system.
        !            17: First a new file system is created using
        !            18: .IR newfs (8).
        !            19: .I Mkproto 
        !            20: is then used to copy files from the old file system into the new
        !            21: file system according to the directions found in the prototype file
        !            22: .I proto.
        !            23: The prototype file
        !            24: contains tokens separated by spaces or
        !            25: new lines.
        !            26: The first tokens comprise the specification
        !            27: for the root directory.
        !            28: File specifications consist of tokens
        !            29: giving the mode,
        !            30: the user-id,
        !            31: the group id,
        !            32: and the initial contents of the file.
        !            33: The syntax of the contents field
        !            34: depends on the mode.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: The mode token for a file is a 6 character string.
        !            37: The first character
        !            38: specifies the type of the file.
        !            39: (The characters
        !            40: .B \-bcd
        !            41: specify regular, block special,
        !            42: character special and directory files
        !            43: respectively.)
        !            44: The second character of the type
        !            45: is either
        !            46: .B u
        !            47: or
        !            48: .B \-
        !            49: to specify set-user-id mode or not.
        !            50: The third is
        !            51: .B g
        !            52: or
        !            53: .B \-
        !            54: for the set-group-id mode.
        !            55: The rest of the mode
        !            56: is a three digit octal number giving the
        !            57: owner, group, and other read, write, execute
        !            58: permissions, see
        !            59: .IR chmod (1).
        !            60: .PP
        !            61: Two decimal number
        !            62: tokens come after the mode; they specify the
        !            63: user and group ID's of the owner of the file.
        !            64: .PP
        !            65: If the file is a regular file,
        !            66: the next token is a pathname
        !            67: whence the contents and size are copied.
        !            68: .PP
        !            69: If the file is a block or character special file,
        !            70: two decimal number tokens
        !            71: follow which give the major and minor device numbers.
        !            72: .PP
        !            73: If the file is a directory,
        !            74: .I mkproto
        !            75: makes the entries
        !            76: .BR . ""
        !            77: and
        !            78: .B  ..
        !            79: and then
        !            80: reads a list of names and
        !            81: (recursively)
        !            82: file specifications for the entries
        !            83: in the directory.
        !            84: The scan is terminated with the
        !            85: token
        !            86: .BR $ .
