+== NAME
+
+mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*mkfs.bfs* [options] _device_ [_block-count_]
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+*mkfs.bfs* creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
+
+The _block-count_ parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+*-N*, *--inodes* _number_::
+Specify the desired _number_ of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition.
+
+*-V*, *--vname* _label_::
+Specify the volume _label_. I have no idea if/where this is used.
+
+*-F*, *--fname* _name_::
+Specify the filesystem _name_. I have no idea if/where this is used.
+
+*--lock*[=_mode_]::
+Use exclusive BSD lock for device or file it operates. The optional argument _mode_ can be *yes*, *no* (or 1 and 0) or *nonblock*. If the _mode_ argument is omitted, it defaults to *yes*. This option overwrites environment variable *$LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE*. The default is not to use any lock at all, but it's recommended to avoid collisions with *systemd-udevd*(8) or other tools.
+
+*-v*, *--verbose*::
+Explain what is being done.
+
+*-c*::
+This option is silently ignored.
+
+*-l*::
+This option is silently ignored.
+
+include::man-common/help-version.adoc[]
+Option *-V* only works as *--version* when it is the only option.
+
+== EXIT STATUS
+
+The exit status returned by *mkfs.bfs* is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
