    MFORMAT(1)          UNIX Programmer's Manual           MFORMAT(1)

    NAME
         mformat - add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level formatted
         diskette.

    SYNOPSIS
         mformat [ -t tracks ] [ -h heads ] [ -s sectors ] [ -l
         volume label ] drive:

    DESCRIPTION
         Mformat adds a minimal MSDOS filesystem (boot sector, FAT,
         and root directory) to a diskette that has already been for-
         matted by a Unix low-level format.

         The follow options are supported:

         t    The number of tracks (not cylinders).

         h    The number of heads (sides).

         s    The number of sectors per track.

         l    An optional volume label.

         To format a diskette at a density other than the default,
         you must supply (at least) those command line parameters
         that are different from the default.

    SEE ALSO
         mlabel(1)

    BUGS
         Requires a low-level format utility from Unix.

         Doesn't detect (or record) bad block information.
