.SH DESCRIPTION
.B sload.f2fs
-is used to load directories and files into a disk partition.
-\fIdevice\fP is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g.
-\fI/dev/sdXX\fP).
+is used to load directories and files into a disk partition, or an F2FS
+image (file).
+\fIdevice\fP could a special file corresponding to the device (e.g.
+\fI/dev/sdXX\fP), or an F2FS image file.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.BI \-f " source directory path"
+.BI \-f " source-directory-path"
Specify the source directory path to be loaded.
.TP
-.BI \-t " mount point path"
+.BI \-t " mount-point-path"
Specify the mount point path in the partition to load.
.TP
.BI \-d " debug-level"
Specify the level of debugging options.
The default number is 0, which shows basic debugging messages.
.TP
+.BI \-c
+Enable a cluster-based file compression.
+The file would be chopped into clusters, and each cluster is compressed
+independently.
+.TP
+.BI \-L " log-of-blocks-per-cluster
+Specify cluster size in power of two blocks.
+The minimum value is 2 (4 blocks, default).
+The maximum value is 8 (256 blocks).
+Note that a block contains 4096 bytes.
+This option must be used with option \fB\-c\fR.
+.TP
+.BI \-a " compression-algorithm"
+Choose the algorithm for compression. Available options are:
+lzo, lz4 (default).
+This option must be used with option \fB\-c\fR.
+.TP
+.BI \-i " file-extension-to-include-for-compression"
+Specify a file extension to include for the compression.
+To specify multiple file extensions, use multiple option \fB\-i\fR's.
+Files having one of the listed extensions will be compressed.
+This option must be used with option \fB\-c\fR.
+.TP
+.BI \-x " file-extension-to-exclude-from-compression"
+Specify a file extension to exclude from compression.
+To specify multiple file extensions, use multiple option \fB\-x\fR's.
+Files having one of the listed extensions won't be compressed.
+This option must be used with option \fB\-c\fR.
+.TP
+.BI \-m " minimum-compressed-blocks-per-cluster"
+Specify a minimum block count saved (by compression) per cluster.
+The minimum value is 1 (default).
+Maximum value is the cluster size in blocks minus 1.
+If compression of a cluster fails to save at least the minimum compressed
+block count given by the option, the cluster will not be compressed.
+This option must be used with option \fB\-c\fR.
+.TP
+.BI \-r
+Specify read-only flag for the compressed files.
+It allows filesystem to release compressed space to the users, since, without
+this option, filesystem should keep the space for future file updates.
+This option must be used with option \fB\-c\fR.
+
+.SH NOTES
+If neither \fB\-i\fR nor \fB\-x\fR is used, all files will be compressed.
+Obviously, option \fB\-i\fR and \fB-x\fR can not be used together.
