Description

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

Environment

       CPMTOOLSFMT     Default format

Errors

       Any errors are indicated by exit code 1.

Files

       /etc/cpmtools/diskdefs   CP/M disk format definitions

Name

       mkfs.cpm - make a CP/M file system

Options

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

       -bbootblock
              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.

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

       -t     Create time stamps.

       -u     Show all CP/M file names in upper case.

Return Value

       Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned.
