SYNOPSIS

       mkapfs [-sv] [-L label] [-U UUID] [-u UUID] device [blocks]

DESCRIPTION

       mkapfs  is  an  experimental tool to create an APFS filesystem with a single volume on the
       given device.  The number of blocks in the container can be specified in blocks, otherwise
       the whole disk is used.

       -L label
              Set a label for the volume, with a maximum length of 255 bytes.

       -U UUID
              Specify  a  UUID for the container, in the standard format. By default the value is
              chosen by /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid.

       -u UUID
              Specify a UUID for the volume, in the standard format.  By  default  the  value  is
