.TH MKINITFS "1" "July 2018" "mkinitfs @VERSION@" "Early startup" .SH NAME mkinitfs - Generate an initramfs .SH SYNOPSIS .PP mkinitfs [\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIKERNELVERSION\fR] .SH DESCRIPTION \fBmkinitfs\fR collects files from the root file system and creates a compressed initramfs from it. .TP \fB\-b\fR \fIBASEDIR\fR Dont use files from the root file system, use specified path instead. .TP \fB\-c\fR \fICONFIGFILE\fR Use configfile instead of \fI@sysconfdir@/mkinitfs.conf\fR. .TP \fB\-C\fR \fIALGORITHM\fR Compress initramfs using gzip (default), xz, zstd, lz4 or none. .TP \fB\-f\fR \fIFSTAB\fR Use fstab instead of \fI@datadir@/fstab\fR. .TP \fB\-F\fR \fIFEATURES\fR Use specified features. .TP \fB\-h\fR Print this help. .TP \fB\-i \fIINITFILE\fR Use initfile as init instead of \fI@datadir@/initramfs-init\fR. .TP \fB\-k\fR Do not clean up temporary files. .TP \fB\-K\fR Also copy host apk keys to initramfs. .TP \fB\-l\fR Do a dry run and only list files that would have been used. .TP \fB\-L\fR List all available features. .TP \fB\-n\fR Don't include kernel modules or firmware into the initramfs. .TP \fB\-o \fIOUTFILE\fR Set another outfile. .TP \fB\-P \fIFEATURESDIR\fR Prepend features.d search path. Use this if you want to define your own features outside of the system-wide directories. .TP \fB\-q\fR Quiet mode. .TP \fB\-s\fR Include modloop signature. .TP \fB\-t \fITMPDIR\fR Use tempdir when creating initramfs image. .SH FILES .TP \fI@sysconfdir@/mkinitfs.conf\fR Default configuration file. It contains the list of default features in the format of \fBfeatures="..."\fR. .TP \fI@sysconfdir@/features.d/FEATURE.modules\fR Contains a list of kernel modules. Using the feature will cause the given kernel modules to be included in the initramfs. The modules are given by their filesystem paths, relative to \fI/lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/\fR. .TP \fI@sysconfdir@/features.d/FEATURE.files\fR Contains a list of absolute file names which will be included into the generated initramfs if the feature is enabled. .TP \fI@datadir@/initramfs-init\fR Shell script which will be placed as \fI/init\fR in the initramfs. This functions as the first executed program in early userspace. .SH AUTHOR .PP Written by Natanael Copa <ncopa@alpinelinux.org>, Timo Teräs <timo.teras@iki.fi> and others. .SH "REPORTING BUGS" Alpine Linux GitLab: <https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/mkinitfs/-/issues> .SH "SEE ALSO" mkinitfs-bootparam(7)
