The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to write new code that uses the non-standard types. I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected. MFC after: 1 month

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility creates a FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 file system on device or file named
|
|
.Ar special ,
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr disktab 5
|
|
entry
|
|
.Ar disktype
|
|
to determine geometry, if required.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
does not contain a
|
|
.Ar /
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
is not used, it is assumed to be a device name and
|
|
.Ar /dev/
|
|
is prepended to the name to construct the actual device name.
|
|
To work a file in the current directory use
|
|
.Ar ./filename
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follow:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Do not create a file system: just print out parameters.
|
|
.It Fl @ Ar offset
|
|
Build the filesystem at the specified offset in bytes in the device or file.
|
|
A suffix s, k, m, g (lower or upper case)
|
|
appended to the offset specifies that the
|
|
number is in sectors, kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes, respectively.
|
|
.It Fl B Ar boot
|
|
Get bootstrap from file.
|
|
.It Fl C Ar create-size
|
|
Create the image file with the specified size.
|
|
A suffix character appended to the size is interpreted as for the
|
|
.Fl @
|
|
option.
|
|
The file is created by truncating any existing file with the same name and
|
|
resizing it to the requested size.
|
|
If the file system supports sparse files, the space occupied on disk may be
|
|
smaller than the size specified as parameter.
|
|
.It Fl F Ar FAT-type
|
|
FAT type (one of 12, 16, or 32).
|
|
.It Fl I Ar VolumeID
|
|
Volume ID, a 32 bit number in decimal or hexadecimal (0x...) format.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar label
|
|
Volume label (up to 11 characters).
|
|
The label should consist of
|
|
only those characters permitted in regular DOS (8+3) filenames.
|
|
.It Fl O Ar OEM
|
|
OEM string (up to 8 characters).
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Qq Li "BSD 4.4" .
|
|
.It Fl S Ar sector-size
|
|
Number of bytes per sector.
|
|
Acceptable values are powers of 2
|
|
in the range 512 through 32768, inclusive.
|
|
.It Fl a Ar FAT-size
|
|
Number of sectors per FAT.
|
|
.It Fl b Ar block-size
|
|
File system block size (bytes per cluster).
|
|
This should resolve to an
|
|
acceptable number of sectors per cluster (see below).
|
|
.It Fl c Ar cluster-size
|
|
Sectors per cluster.
|
|
Acceptable values are powers of 2 in the range
|
|
1 through 128.
|
|
If the block or cluster size are not specified, the code
|
|
uses a cluster between 512 bytes and 32K depending on
|
|
the filesystem size.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar DirEnts
|
|
Number of root directory entries (FAT12 and FAT16 only).
|
|
.It Fl f Ar format
|
|
Specify a standard (floppy disk) format.
|
|
The standard formats
|
|
are (capacities in kilobytes): 160, 180, 320, 360, 640, 720, 1200,
|
|
1232, 1440, 2880.
|
|
.It Fl h Ar heads
|
|
Number of drive heads.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar info
|
|
Location of the file system info sector (FAT32 only).
|
|
A value of 0xffff signifies no info sector.
|
|
.It Fl k Ar backup
|
|
Location of the backup boot sector (FAT32 only).
|
|
A value
|
|
of 0xffff signifies no backup sector.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar media
|
|
Media descriptor (acceptable range 0xf0 to 0xff).
|
|
.It Fl n Ar FATs
|
|
Number of FATs.
|
|
Acceptable values are 1 to 16 inclusive.
|
|
The default
|
|
is 2.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar hidden
|
|
Number of hidden sectors.
|
|
.It Fl r Ar reserved
|
|
Number of reserved sectors.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar total
|
|
File system size.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar track-size
|
|
Number of sectors per track.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
If some parameters (e.g. size, number of sectors, etc.) are not specified
|
|
through options or disktype, the program tries to generate them automatically.
|
|
In particular, the size is determined as the device or file size minus the
|
|
offset specified with the
|
|
.Fl @
|
|
option.
|
|
When the geometry is not available, it is assumed to be 63 sectors, 255 heads.
|
|
The size is then rounded to become a multiple of the track size and avoid
|
|
complaints by some filesystem code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
FAT file system parameters occupy a "Boot Sector BPB (BIOS Parameter
|
|
Block)" in the first of the "reserved" sectors which precede the actual
|
|
file system.
|
|
For reference purposes, this structure is presented
|
|
below.
