NAME
      makefsys - create a file system

SYNOPSIS
      makefsys

DESCRIPTION
      The makefsys command allows you to create a file system.

      The command invokes a visual interface (the make task available through
      the sysadm command).

      The initial prompt allows you to select the device on which to create the
      file system.  After selecting the device, you are asked some further
      questions before the file system is created.

      The identical function is available under the sysadm menu:

      sysadm make

DIAGNOSTICS
      The makefsys command exits with one of the following values:

      0     Normal exit.

      2     Invalid command syntax.  A usage message is displayed.

      7     The visual interface for this command is not available because it
            cannot invoke fmil.  (The FMLI package is not installed or is
            corrupted.)
