mklost+found(8)
NAME
  mklost+found - Makes a lost+found directory for fsck

SYNOPSIS
  mklost+found

DESCRIPTION
  The mklost+found command creates a lost+found directory in the current
  directory.  mklost+found also creates (and then removes) a number of empty
  files so that there will be empty slots for fsck.  The fsck command
  reconnects any orphaned files and directories by placing them in the
  lost+found directory with an assigned inode number.  mklost+found is not
  normally needed since newfs automatically creates the lost+found directory
  when a new file system is created.

FILES
  /usr/sbin/mklost+found
	    Specifies the command path
