NAME
        hdisk - hard disk utility

SYNOPSIS
        hdisk

DESCRIPTION

        Hdisk is a menu driven hard disk utility program. It can
        format a device, verify a device or an individual block, format a
        track, assign a track an alternate, list all alternate track
        assignments on a drive, and list the model type of each drive
        configured in the system.

        The devices are listed in /dev and begin with 'hd'. An entire drive
        can be selected by using the letter 'f' as the last character in a
        name. i.e. hd1f identifies drive number 1.

        A calculate function caluclates the starting block number on a track
        or calculates the track on which a block resides.
