>Description:
According to the man page, mkfile(8) will assume that the first argument is in units of bytes unless the user specifies an explicit argument.  The man page matched the behavior of mkfile-1.1.  However, mkfile-1.1.1 no longer accepts an empty unit size suffix.
>How-To-Repeat:
# ./mkfile 100 /tmp/bar
100: Invalid argument
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch to mkfile.c.
