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

1. 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.

1. V, –vname label

Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.

1. F, –fname name

Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used.

1. v, –verbose

Explain what is being done.

1. c

This option is silently ignored.

1. l

This option is silently ignored.

1. h, –help

Display help text and exit.

1. 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.
