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 parti-
tion.

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