                      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
                     80: .BR $ .
