+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBmkinst\fR command launches one or more EC2 instances from an
+existing AMI identified by the \fIAMI-ID\fR argument. The number of
+instances to launch is determined by the \fB\-n\fR option. In its
+absense, one instance will be launched.
+.PP
+If ID mapping is enabled (see the section \fBMAPS\fR
+in
+.BR eclat (1)),
+the \fBImageId\fR map is used to translate \fIAMI-ID\fR to
+the corresponding AMI identifier.
+.PP
+Options supply additional details for the instances to be created.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-network\-interface\fR, \fB\-\-iface\fR=\fIIFACE\fR
+Specify the network attachment for a VPC instance.
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-data\fR=\fBSTRING\fR
+User data to pass to the instance.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-disable\-api\-termination\fR
+Disable API termination.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-ebs\-optimized\fR
+Optimize the instances for EBS I/O.
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-data\-file\fR=\fIFILE\fR
+Read user data from \fIFILE\fR.
+.TP
+\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-security\-group\fR=\fISTRING\fR
+The name of the security group.
+.TP
+\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keypair\fR=\fIID\fR
+Key pair name.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-kernel\fR=fIID\fR
+Select kernel ID.
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-devmap\fR, \fB\-\-block\-device\-mapping\fR=\fIDEV\fR=\fISPEC\fR
+Set block device mapping. The \fIDEV\fR part is the device name of the physical device on
+the instance to map. The \fISPEC\fR sets the mapping specification
+and can be one of:
+.RS 7
+.TP
+.B none
+Disable the existing mapping. E.g. \fB\-m /dev/xvdb=none\fR disables
+the mapping for the device \fB/dev/xvdb\fR.
+.TP
+.BR ephemeral [0-3]
+Map an instance store volume to the device. E.g. \fB\-m
+/dev/xvdb=ephemeral1\fR.
+.TP
+[\fIsnapshot\-id\fR]:\
+[\fIvolume\-size\fR]:\
+[\fIDOT\fR]:\
+[\fIstandard\fR|\fIio1\fR[:\fIiops\fR]]
+Specifies an EBS volume to be mapped to the device. The
+\fIsnapshot\-id\fR specifies the ID of the snapshot to create the
+volume from, \fIvolume\-size\fR gives the desired size of the volume
+in gigabytes. The \fIDOT\fR parameter (\fBdelete on termination\fR)
+specifies whether the device should be deleted after the instance is
+terminated. Possible values are \fBtrue\fR and \fBfalse\fR. The last
+parameter defines the volume type. The value \fBstandard\fR instructs
+Amazon to create a standard volume. This is the default. To create a
+provisioned IOPS volume, specify \fBio1\fR. In that case you can also
+supply the number of IOPS that the volume supports in the
+\fIiops\fR argument. For example, \fB\-m
+/dev/xvdf=snap-12345abc::false:io1:500\fR.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB\-\-monitor\fR
+Enable monitoring.
+.TP
+\fB\-n\fR \fIN\fR
+Number of instances to launch.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-number\-secondary\-ip\fR, \fB\-\-secondary\-private\-ip\-address\-count\fR=\fIN\fR
+Number of secondary IP addresses to assign.
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-iam\-profile\fR=\fINAME\fR
+\fBIAM\fR instance profile to associate with the launched instances.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-placement\-group\fR=\fINAME\fR
+Name of the placement group.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-private\-ip\-address\fR=\fIIP\fR
+Assign a specific private IP to the VPC instance.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-ramdisk\fR=\fIID\fR
+Select ramdisk ID.
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-subnet\fR=\fIID\fR
+Subnet to launch the instance into.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-secondary\-ip\fR, \fB\-\-secondary\-private\-ip\-address\fR=\fIIP\fR
+Assign the IP as a secondary private IP address.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-shutdown\fR, \fB\-\-instance\-initiated\-shutdown\-behavior\fR=\fBstop\fR|\fBterminate\fR
+What to do on instance shutdown.
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-type\fR, \fB\-\-instance\-type\fR=\fITYPE\fR
+Instance type.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-tenancy\fR=\fISTRING\fR
+Placement tenancy.
+.TP
+\fB\-z\fR, \fB\-\-zone\fR, \fB\-\-availability\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR
+Set availablility zone.
