+.SH "NAME"
+mkfs.cramfs \- make compressed ROM file system
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBmkfs.cramfs\fP [options] \fIdirectory file\fP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Files on cramfs file systems are zlib\-compressed one page at a time to allow random read access. The metadata is not compressed, but is expressed in a terse representation that is more space\-efficient than conventional file systems.
+.sp
+The file system is intentionally read\-only to simplify its design; random write access for compressed files is difficult to implement. cramfs ships with a utility (\fBmkcramfs\fP(8)) to pack files into new cramfs images.
+.sp
+File sizes are limited to less than 16 MB.
+.sp
+Maximum file system size is a little under 272 MB. (The last file on the file system must begin before the 256 MB block, but can extend past it.)
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.sp
+The \fIdirectory\fP is simply the root of the directory tree that we want to generate a compressed filesystem out of.
+.sp
+The \fIfile\fP will contain the cram file system, which later can be mounted.
