DFFORMAT(8)             COMMAND REFERENCE             DFFORMAT(8)



NAME
     dfformat - format a floppy disk

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/dfformat [ interleave ] [ dev ]

DESCRIPTION
     Dfformat formats a two-sided, double density, 48 TPI floppy
     disk on a Tektronix 6200 Series workstation.  The optional
     arguments specify the sector interleave factor and the
     formatting device.  Absent arguments cause the default
     equivalents to be assumed.  The default drive and interleave
     factor are, /dev/rdf and 4, respectively.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.

CAVEATS
     Because of hardware differences between Tektronix
     workstations, the optimum interleave factor on a 6200 Series
     workstation is not guaranteed to be optimal on any other
     series of workstation, such as the 6100 Series.
