NAME

     fstyp_msdos -- check for an MSDOS FAT volume

SYNOPSIS

     fstyp_msdos device

DESCRIPTION

     The fstyp_msdos utility is not intended to be run directly, but rather called by fstyp(8) while it is trying to determine which file system
     type is present on the given device.  It returns 1 if it thinks the device contains an MSDOS FAT volume, and 0 otherwise.

MSDOS.UTIL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MSDOS.UTIL(8)

NAME

     msdos.util -- DOS/Windows (FAT) file system utility

SYNOPSIS

     msdos.util -m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4 device node

     msdos.util -p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4 device

     msdos.util -u device

     msdos.util -k device

     msdos.util -n device name

DESCRIPTION

     The msdos.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of FAT file systems.

     Options:
	   -m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
		       mount
	   -n	       set name
	   -p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
		       probe for mounting
	   -u	       unmount
	   -k	       print volume UUID

     mountflags above are either:
	   o   removable or fixed
	   o   readonly or writeable
	   o   suid or nosuid
	   o   dev or nodev

     FAT volumes do not actually have a volume UUID.  They have an optional 4-byte volume ID.  If a volume has an ID, then it will be converted to
     a version 3 UUID using MD5 to checksum the kFSUUIDNamespaceSHA1 UUID folowed by the volume ID.

     For the -k option, if the volume has a volume ID, the exit status will be 253 and the UUID will be printed to standard out, without any
     trailing newline.	Otherwise, if the volume appears to be FAT, the exit status will be 255.  If the volume does not appear to be FAT, the
     exit status will be 254.
