NAME
     mkfs_udf - construct a UDF filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     mkfs_udf [-h] [-l label] [-s size] <device name>

DESCRIPTION
     mkfs_udf constructs a UDF filesystem on a block or raw device. It is
     invoked automatically by mkfs(1M) when mkfs is given the -t udf option.

     The options to mkfs_udf are as follows:

     -h   Display the help text.

     -l label
          Set the filesystem label, it must be less than or equal to 30
          characters.

     -s size
          Specify the desired filesystem size, in 2048 byte blocks.

EXAMPLES
     To create a udf filesystem in a slice on a block device, dks0d6s7:

          mkfs_udf /dev/dsk/dks0d6s7

     To set the udf filesystem label to "alabel" on a block device, dks0d4vol:

          mkfs_udf -l alabel /dev/dsk/dks0d4vol

     To restrict the filesystem size to 100000 blocks (204800000 bytes):

          mkfs_udf -s 100000 /dev/dsk/dks0d4vol
