ADFMT(ADM)                           UNIX System V



     Name
          adfmt - formats SCSI hard disks


     Syntax
          /usr/bin/adfmt device_name


     Description
          The adfmt command issues a format command to the  SCSI  disk
          device_name.   device_name  should  be the character-special
          device  representing  the  whole  SCSI  disk,  for  example,
          /dev/rhd00.


     Notes
          SCSI disks with embedded controllers are formatted  as  part
          of  the  manufacturing test procedure.  Using adfmt on these
          disks is unnecessary.


     Files
          /dev/rhd?0
