                     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 $ .
                     87: .PP
