desc: "The main advantages to the Sun format utility are:\n- Working surface analyze
  that will detect defective blocks that are going\n  to get bad.\n- Analyzing program
  that detects defective bearings in the disk (-randrw).\n- Will repair nearly any
  defective disk, that has no firmware bug or electric\n  defect.\n- Allows to clear
  the grown defect list if a disk.\n- Disk geometry and label geometry are separated.\n-
  Allows cheating in the label geometry to deal with the problems with the\n  limitation
  to 16 bit data types in the Sun disk label.\n- Large database of disks including
  firmware specials.\n- You need no desk calculator to generate a partition table.\n
  \ Shorthands for:\n  - MBytes\n  - cylinders/head/sectors\n  - size partition to
  end on end of disk\n  - partition following another partition\n  - partition ending
  before another partition\n  - shifting partition on the disk (allows growing part
  0 and shrinking part 1)\n- Partition consistency checker with (ascii) graphical
  display.\n- Mode page interpreter allows to set easily all mode pages you will ever
  find\n  in a manual, sformat needs not to know about them.\n\nNOTE:\tSformat has
  its full functionality on SunOS/Solaris on sparc\n\tand Motorola systems, on all
  other systems sformat will create\n\tSun disk labels with wrong byte-order, but
  formatting/analysis/\n\trepair will work.\n"
