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

EXIT CODES

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