This doesn't align with the extended description. Sounds more like "automated creation and inspection of sparse files". > This package contains the utilities sparsemap and mksparse. Sparsemap > lists the areas of a file that are holes and data, and mksparse creates > a new file with holes and data. It would be nice to have such functionality directly in fallocate(1) rather than having to install python 3 just for that. Regards, Eduard.
