.TH MKLOST+FOUND 8 .UC .SH NAME mklost+found \- make a lost+found directory for fsck .SH SYNOPSIS .B /etc/mklost+found .SH DESCRIPTION A directory .I lost+found is created in the current directory and a number of empty files are created therein and then removed so that there will be empty slots for .IR fsck (8).
