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