-.Sh NAME
-.Nm fdwrite
-.Nd format and write floppy disks
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl v
-.Op Fl y
-.Op Fl f Ar inputfile
-.Op Fl d Ar device
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility formats and writes one and more floppy disks.
-Any floppy disk device capable of formatting can be used.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-utility will ask the user
-(on
-.Pa /dev/tty )
-to insert a new floppy and press return.
-The device will then be opened, and queried for its parameters,
-then each track will be formatted, written with data from the
-.Ar inputfile ,
-read back and compared.
-When the floppy disk is filled, the process is repeated, with the next disk.
-This continues until the program is interrupted or EOF is encountered on the
-.Ar inputfile .
-.Pp
-The options are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width 10n -offset indent
-.It Fl v
-Toggle verbosity on stdout.
-Default is ``on''.
-After
-.Ar device
-is opened first time the format will be printed.
-During operation progress will be reported with the number of tracks
-remaining on the current floppy disk, and the letters I, Z, F, W,
-R and C, which indicates completion of Input, Zero-fill, Format
-Write, Read and Compare of current track respectively.
-.It Fl y
-Do not ask for presence of a floppy disk in the drive.
-This non-interactive flag
-is useful for shell scripts.
-.It Fl f Ar inputfile
-Input file to read.
-If none is given, stdin is assumed.
-.It Fl d Ar device
-The name of the floppy device to write to.
-Default is
-.Pa /dev/fd0 .
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-utility actually closes the
-.Ar device
-while it waits for the user to press return,
-it is thus quite possible to use the drive for other purposes at this
-time and later resume writing with the next floppy.
-.Pp
-The parameters returned from
-.Ar device
-are used for formatting.
-If custom formatting is needed, please use
-.Xr fdformat 1
-instead.
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-The
-.Nm
-utility
-was planned as a tool to make life easier when writing a set of floppies,
-one such use could be to write a tar-archive:
-.Pp
-.Dl "tar cf - . | gzip -9 | fdwrite -d /dev/fd0.1720 -v
-.Pp
-The main difference from using
-.Xr tar 1 Ns 's
-multivolume facility is of course the formatting of the floppies, which
-here is done on the fly,
-thus reducing the amount of work for the floppy-jockey.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr fdformat 1
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-utility was written while waiting for ``make world'' to complete.
-Some of the code was taken from
-.Xr fdformat 1 .
-.Sh AUTHORS
-The program has been contributed by
-.An Poul-Henning Kamp Aq phk@FreeBSD.org .
-.Sh BUGS
-Diagnostics are less than complete at present.
-.Pp
-If a floppy is sick, and the
-.Ar inputfile
-is seekable, it should ask the user to frisbee the disk, insert
-another, and rewind to the right spot and continue.
-.Pp
-This concept could be extended to cover non-seekable input also
-by employing a temporary file.
-.Pp
-An option (defaulting to zero) should allow the user to ask for
-retries in case of failure.
-.Pp
-At present a suitable tool for reading back a multivolume set
-of floppies is missing.
-Programs like
-.Xr tar 1
-for instance, will do the job, if the data has not been compressed.
-One can always trust
-.Xr dd 1
-to help out in this situation of course.
