+.Sh NAME
+.Nm scsiformat
+.Nd format SCSI disks and show SCSI parameters
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm scsiformat
+.Op Fl qw
+.Op Fl p Ar page-control
+.Ar device-name
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm scsiformat
+utility can be used to format SCSI disks
+on systems that support on-line SCSI formatting.
+It will also show the various parameters set in the SCSI controller.
+The
+.Ar device-name
+should be either a disk name like
+.Ql sd0 ,
+or the path name of the control device for a disk, as in
+.Pa /dev/rsd0.ctl .
+Using a regular disk device may not work, for example in case of a
+device where the medium format is corrupted.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl p
+Modify how the SCSI mode sense page query is constructed.
+By default,
+.Nm scsiformat
+asks for the current settings.
+The page-control flag is one of:
+.sp
+.Bl -tag -width XXX -compact
+.It Li c
+gets current settings.
+.It Li d
+gets default settings (those provided by the disk's manufacturer).
+.It Li s
+gets saved settings (those that persist across power cycles).
+.It Li v
+shows which parameters are variable.
+.El
+.It Fl q
+Quiet; suppress the mode page output.  Only the inquiry string will be
+printed, so the operator can ensure he's going to format the intended
+drive.
+.It Fl w
+Do actually format; by default, only the disk parameters will be
+displayed.
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+These should mostly be self-explanatory.
+A copy of the SCSI standard (or a more readable derivative)
+may be useful, however.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr scsi 8 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm scsiformat
+utility first appeared in
+.Bx 4.4 .
+This version has been reworked as a wrapper around
+.Xr scsi 8
+by Peter Dufault for
+.Fx 2.1 .
