NAME
format_floppy - diskette formatting program used by
FileManager
SYNOPSIS
format_floppy -d device -m mnt_point [ -h ] [ -n name ] [ -p
popup_type ] [ -r ] [ -x x_pos ] [ -y y_pos ]
DESCRIPTION
Format_floppy is used by filemgr(1) to format 3.5 in. high-
density floppy disks. It is not intended to be used
directly but rather is called by filemgr when a floppy disk
can not be read and the user indicates that it should be
formatted. This situation occurs if the user inserts a new
disk into the dirve or tries to use a disk that is unread-
able for some reason. The user will be notified that the
disk is unreadable and be given the options of ejecting the
disk or formatting it. Filemgr and vold(1) must be running
when the unreadable disk is inserted into the drive in order
for format_floppy to be called.
Note that DOS-formatted disks are automatically recognized
by vold and filemgr will not try to reformat them.
OPTIONS
-d device The raw device name of the floppy disk must be
specified. This information is in the second
filed of the file /tmp/.removable/floppyN
where N is the number of hte floppy disk (usu-
ally 0).
-h Causes format_floppy to display its "help" or
usage message.
-m mnt_point The mount-point of the floppy disk must be
specified. This information is in the first
field of the the file /tmp/.removable/floppyN,
where N is the number of the floppy disk (usu-
ally 0).
-n name Allows a name to be assigned to the newly-
formatted floppy disk.
-p popup_type Allows the type of popup menu to be specified
where popup_type can be format, unformatted,
or unlabled. The default is format. Note
that the wording in these popup menus is dif-
ferent.
-r Allows the floppy disk to be renamed. If -r
is specified, -n must be also.

coordinate position for the popup menu.
