+.SH "NAME"
+mkfs.bfs \- make an SCO bfs filesystem
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBmkfs.bfs\fP [options] \fIdevice\fP [\fIblock\-count\fP]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+\fBmkfs.bfs\fP creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
+.sp
+The \fIblock\-count\fP parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.sp
+\fB\-N\fP, \fB\-\-inodes\fP \fInumber\fP
+.RS 4
+Specify the desired \fInumber\fP 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.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-vname\fP \fIlabel\fP
+.RS 4
+Specify the volume \fIlabel\fP. I have no idea if/where this is used.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-F\fP, \fB\-\-fname\fP \fIname\fP
+.RS 4
+Specify the filesystem \fIname\fP. I have no idea if/where this is used.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-\-lock\fP[=\fImode\fP]
+.RS 4
+Use exclusive BSD lock for device or file it operates. The optional argument \fImode\fP can be \fByes\fP, \fBno\fP (or 1 and 0) or \fBnonblock\fP. If the \fImode\fP argument is omitted, it defaults to \fByes\fP. This option overwrites environment variable \fB$LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE\fP. The default is not to use any lock at all, but it\(cqs recommended to avoid collisions with \fBsystemd\-udevd\fP(8) or other tools.
