MKFS.CPM(1)                      User commands                     MKFS.CPM(1)


NAME

       mkfs.cpm - make a CP/M file system


SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.cpm [-f format] [-b boot] [-L label] [-t] image


DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.cpm makes a CP/M file system on an image file or device.


OPTIONS

       -f format
              Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format.

       -b bootblock
              Write the contents of the file bootblock to the system tracks
              instead of filling them with 0xe5.  This option can be used up
              to four times.  The file contents (typically boot block, CCP,
              BDOS and BIOS) are written to sequential sectors, padding with
              0xe5 if needed.

       -L label
              Label the file system.  This is only supported by CP/M Plus.

       -t     Create time stamps.

       Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned.
