.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Fdformat
|
|
formats a floppy disk at device
|
|
.Ar device_name .
|
|
.Ar Device_name
|
|
should be a character device; it may be given either with a full path
|
|
name of a raw device node for a floppy disk drive
|
|
.Pq e.\ g. Pa /dev/rfd0 ,
|
|
or default name in an abbreviated form
|
|
.Pq e.\ g. Em fd0 .
|
|
In the latter case, the name is constructed by prepending
|
|
.Pa /dev/r
|
|
and appending a
|
|
.Em .capacity
|
|
to the
|
|
.Ar device_name .
|
|
Note that any geometry constraints of the device node
|
|
.Pq minor device number
|
|
are meaningless, since they're overridden by
|
|
.Nm fdformat .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 10n -offset indent
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
supress any normal output from the command, and don't ask the
|
|
user for a confirmation whether to format the floppy disk at
|
|
.Ar device_name .
|
|
.It Fl f Ar capacity
|
|
The normal way to specify the desired formatting parameters.
|
|
.Ar Capacity
|
|
is the number of kilobytes to format.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Don't verify floppy after formatting.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Don't format, verify only.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar cyls
|
|
.It Fl s Ar secs
|
|
.It Fl h Ar heads
|
|
.It Fl r Ar rate
|
|
.It Fl g Ar gap3len
|
|
.It Fl i Ar intleave
|
|
.It Fl S Ar secshft
|
|
.It Fl F Ar fillbyte
|
|
.It Fl t Ar steps_per_track
|
|
An alternate method to specify the geometry data to write to the floppy disk.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
flag has not been specified, the user is asked for a confirmation
|
|
of the intended formatting process. In order to continue, an answer
|
|
of
|
|
.Dq y
|
|
must be given.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Unless
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
has been specified, a single letter is printed to standard output
|
|
to inform the user about the progress of work.
|
|
First, an
|
|
.Sq Em F
|
|
is printed when the track(s) is being formatted, then a
|
|
.Sq Em V
|
|
while it's being verified, and if an error has been detected, it
|
|
will finally change to
|
|
.Sq Em E .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An exit status of 0 is returned upon successful operation. Exit status
|
|
1 is returned on any errors during floppy formatting, and an exit status
|
|
of 2 reflects invalid arguments given to the program (along with an
|
|
appropriate information written to diagnostic output).

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
.Nm Fdformat

|
has been developed for 386BSD 0.1

.Xr fd 4
|
|
floppy disk driver. It later became part of the
|
|
.Em FreeBSD
|
|
system, release 1.1.
