-formatFORMAT
              Specifies a disc format to use. See the section DISK FORMATS for more information.

       -typeTYPE
              Determines which driver is to be used to format the disc or image.

              auto    Select according to the disc image file. This is the default.

              dsk     Use the DSK (CPCEmu format) image driver.

              edsk    Use the extended version of the DSK format.

              floppy  Use the floppy driver.

              myz80   Use the hard disk (MYZ80 format) image driver.  (This format cannot be autodetected.)

              cfi     Use the CFI (DOS fdcopy format) image driver.  (This format cannot be autodetected.)

              apridisk
                      Use  the ApriDisk image driver (used for archiving Apricot floppies).  (This format cannot
                      be autodetected.)

              raw     Use the raw driver.

       -compCOMP
              Compress the disc image that is being generated (has no  effect  when  formatting  a  real  floppy

       -sideSIDE
              Determines which side (0 or 1) of the disc is to be formatted.

       -pcdos Create an empty PCDOS (FAT12) filesystem on the disc image.

       -apricot
              Create an empty Apricot MSDOS filesystem on the disc image.
