mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem

       The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package which can be downloaded from Linux Kernel Archive
       <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.

util-linux 2.41                                    2025-02-26                                        MKFS.BFS(8)

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.

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

-N, --inodesnumber
           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, --vnamelabel
           Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F, --fnamename
           Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       --lock[=mode]
           Use exclusive BSD lock for device or file it operates. The optional argument mode can be yes, no (or
           1 and 0) or nonblock. If the mode argument is omitted, it defaults to yes. This option overwrites
           environment variable $LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE. The default is not to use any lock at all, but it’s
           recommended to avoid collisions with systemd-udevd(8) or other tools.

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