One liner:
MKTEMP: used to create/make a number of files in multiple subdirectories for sample and testing purposes.
If you wish to make a single test file, run the sample.exe program.
MKTEMP, in its basic operation is designed to create a specific number of sub-directories which contain a specific number of files each of a specified filesize and content.
MKTEMP will ask the user three questions and then create a number of directories and
files based on the answers the user gives.
The first question the user is asked is: How many sub-directories to make. The user then enters a number, and
the program will make that many subdirectories in the tree.
The (second) next question is how many files in each subdirectory? The user inputs the number of file they wish to
be created in each subdiretory.
Finally, with the third question, the user is provided a list of file sizes to create. The file size choices are
mulitples of 512 bytes. These are the choices given
1=512, 2=1024, 3=2048, 4=4096, 5=8192, 6=16384, 7=32768
The user input the number 1 thru 7 and the program creates X sub-directories with Y number of files in each
sub-directory of Z file size.
Each file will contain differenct fixed content. I leave it to the user to run hexdump on the file to
determine how each file is formatted.
