NAME
     mkfs - construct a filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     mkfs [ -t efs ] efs_mkfs_options
     mkfs [ -t xfs ] xfs_mkfs_options
     mkfs [ -t udf ] udf_mkfs_options

DESCRIPTION
     mkfs constructs a filesystem by writing on the special file given as one
     of the command line arguments.  The filesystem constructed is either an
     EFS filesystem, an XFS filesystem or an UDF filesystem depending on the
     arguments given.  mkfs constructs EFS filesystems by executing
     mkfs_efs(1M); XFS filesystems are constructed by executing mkfs_xfs(1M);
     UDF filesystems are constructed by executing mkfs_udf(1M).

     The filesystem type chosen can be forced with the -t option (also spelled
     -F).  If one of those options is not given, mkfs determines which
     filesystem type to construct by examining its arguments.  If mkfs special
     is given, then the choice is EFS unless the special device is an XLV
     volume with a log subvolume.

SEE ALSO
     mkfs_efs(1M), mkfs_xfs(1M), mkfs_udf(1M).
