       floppy - floppy disk interface

SYNOPSIS
       bind -a '#f' /dev

       /dev/fd0disk

DESCRIPTION
       The floppy disk interface serves a one-level directory giving access to
       up to four floppy disk drives.  Each drive is represented by a data and
       control file.  There are no partitions.

       Messages accepted by the ctl file include:

       eject  Eject the floppy, if possible.

       reset  Reset the drive.

       format type
	      Format  the  floppy.  The type sets the density and type of disk
	      to be formatted; see format(8).

       A read of the ctl file returns a string describing the form  factor  of
       the disk, one of 3½DD, 3½HD, 5¼DD, or 5¼HD.
