-.SH NAME
-makehole \- a program to make filesystem "holes" in pure executables
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B makehole
-Imagefile
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B makehole
-copies the
-.IR Imagefile ,
-using
-.BR lseek (2)
-to skip over sections of the file which contain all zeros.  If the file
-system is smart enough to recognize this use of
-.BR lseek (2),
-then it will store the file in a more efficient fashion.
-
-The logical length of the file will
-.I not
-be changed, only the way it is stored in the filesystem.  This can save a
-lot of space if the file contains large blocks of zeros.
-.BR cp (3)
-will not similar "hole creation," but it does not seem to be as extensive
-(see the GNU source code for details).
-.BR dd (3)
-will
-.I not
-create holes, and should be used when holes are not desired (i.e., for the
-.BR shoelace (8)
-boot image).
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR lseek (2),
-.BR cp (3),
-.BR dd (3)
-.SH BUGS
-Must be root to run.
-.br
-The
-.I Imagefile
-must be a pure exectuable.
