# 231564 12-Feb-2012 ed

Globally replace u_int*_t from (non-contributed) man pages.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.

I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

Some cleanups from NetBSD:
- C99 initializers.
- Change the default volume label from "NO NAME" to "NO_NAME".
- Set OEM String to "BSD4.4 " following the unnamed spacing convention
in that other OS that suggests "MSWIN4.1"
Also, David Naylor's changes for Clang, mostly changing the signess
of constants.

# 185587 03-Dec-2008 luigi

Some useful operational extensions to newfs_msdos, especially
when preparing images for emulators or flash devices:

+ option '-C size' to create the underlying image file with given size.
Saves doing a 'dd' before, and especially it creates a sparse file

+ option '-@ offset' to build the FAT image at the specified offset
in the image file or device;

+ make the cluster size adaptive on the filesystem size.
Previously the default was 4k which is really unconvenient with
large media; now it goes from 512 bytes to 32k depending on
filesystem size (i still need to check whether it makes sense
to go further up, to 64k or above);

+ fix default geometry when not specified on the command line,
use 63 sectors/255 heads by default.
Also trim the size so it exactly a multiple of a track, to avoid
complaints in some filesystem code.

+ document all the above, plus some manual page clarifications.

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.
