NAME
       mkexfatfs - create an exFAT file system

SYNOPSIS
       mkexfatfs [ -i volume-id ] [ -n volume-name ] [ -p partition-first-sector ] [ -s
       sectors-per-cluster ] [ -V ] device

DESCRIPTION
       mkexfatfs creates an exFAT file system on a block device.  device is  a  special
       file  corresponding  to the partition on the device. Note that if this is an MBR
       partition then the file system type should be set to 0x07 (NTFS/exFAT) otherwise
       other operating systems may refuse to mount the file system.

OPTIONS
       Command line options available:

       -i volume-id
              A  32-bit hexadecimal number. By default a value based on current time is
              set.

       -n volume-name
              Volume name (label), up to 15 characters. By default no label is set.

       -p partition-first-sector
              First sector of the partition starting from the beginning  of  the  whole
              disk.   exFAT super block has a field for this value but in fact it's op‐
              tional and does not affect anything. Default is 0.

       -s sectors-per-cluster
              Number of physical sectors per cluster (cluster is an allocation unit  in
              exFAT).  Must be a power of 2, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, etc. Cluster size can not
              exceed 32 MB. Default cluster sizes are: 4 KB if volume size is less than
              256  MB,  32  KB if volume size is from 256 MB to 32 GB, 128 KB if volume
              size is 32 GB or larger.

       -V     Print version and copyright.

EXIT CODES
       Zero is returned on successful creation. Any other code means an error.
