NAME

       mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a
       file accessed via the loop device).

       The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is
       specified, the entire partition will be used.

OPTIONS

       -N, --inodes number
           Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified, some
           default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition.

       -V, --vname label
           Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F, --fname name
           Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -v, --verbose
           Explain what is being done.

       -c
           This option is silently ignored.

       -l
           This option is silently ignored.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
           Display version information and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the
           only option.

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went
       wrong.
