-p --print print the current error thresholds and the drive type
-a --abort set operation abortion threshold (if there are more errors
than this threshold, the driver gives up to read/write the
requested sector and reports an I/O error to the user
program
-t --readtrack set read track threshold (if there are less errors than
this threshold, an entire track is read at once)
-r --recalibrate set recalibration threshold (if there are more errors than
this threshold, the driver recalibrates the drive, i.e.
moves the head to track 0 and back, to make sure it really
knows where the head is)
-R --reset set reset threshold (if there are more errors than this
threshold, the driver resets the floppy disk controller)
-e --reporting set error reporting threshold (if there are more errors
than this threshold, error messages are printed to the
console)
-f --flush flush the floppy buffers
-x --eject eject the floppy disk
-d --drive specify the target drive (default is /dev/fd0)
-F --formatend emits an FDFMTEND ioctl. This is needed when, after
interrupting a formatting program, the drive light stays
on
-T --type prints the drive type
--debug switch debugging on
--nodebug switch debugging off
--message switch autodetection and overrun messages on
--nomessage switch autodetection and overrun messages off
--silent_dcl_clear switches on silent disk change status clear
--noisy_dcl_clear switches off silent disk change status clear
-c --cmos set cmos type
--hlt set hlt
--hut set hut
--srt set srt
-o --spindown set spindown time
-u --spinup set spinup time
-s --select_delay set drive select delay
--rps sets rotations per second
-O --spindown_offset set spindown offset (decides in which position the disk
stops)
--cylinders set maximal number of cylinders
--tracks obsolete (same as --cylinders)
--timeout set interrupt timeout
-i --interleave set interleave
-A --autodetect set autodetection sequence (comma separated list of format
indexes. The format index is the minor device number
divided by four)
-C --checkfreq set maximal disk change check interval
-n --native_format set the native format of this drive
--resetnow issue a reset command
-P --printstate print internal per drive driver status
--printfdcstate print internal per fdc driver status
--pollstate polls internal driver status and prints it
--clrwerror clears write error structure
--printwerror prints write error structure
--broken_dcl work around broken disk change line
--working_dcl assume a working disk change line
--inverted_dcl assume an inverted disk change line
--no_inverted_dcl assume a non-inverted disk change line
--messages print informational messages
--no_messages don't print informational messages
