FORMAT(8)               OpenBSD System Manager's Manual              FORMAT(8)

NAME
     format - how to format disks and tapes

DESCRIPTION
     Currently, there are no ``native'' BSD media formatting utilities.  For-
     matting of both disks and cartridge tapes must be done either standalone
     or under HP-UX using the mediainit utility distributed by HP. Note that
     HP-brand cartridge tapes come pre-formatted, and HP disks are supposed
     to.

HISTORY
     The format command is currently under development.
