DESCRIPTION

14       mkudffs  is  used  to  create  a  UDF filesystem on a device (usually a
15       disk).  device is the special file corresponding  to  the  device  (e.g
16       /dev/hdX).  blocks-count  is  the  number  of blocks on the device.  If
17       omitted, mkudffs automagically figures the file system size.
