\&\fR\&\f(CWsetfdprm\fR is a utility that can be used to load disk parameters
into the auto-detecting floppy devices and "fixed parameter" floppy
devices, to clear old parameter sets and to disable or enable diagnostic
messages. These parameters are derived from a media-description,
see section Media description for more details.
.PP
Without any options, \fR\&\f(CWsetfdprm\fR loads the \fIdevice\fR (for example
\&\fR\&\f(CW\(if/dev/fd0\(is\fR or \fR\&\f(CW\(if/dev/fd1\(is\fR) with a new parameter set with the
\&\fIname\fR entry found in \fR\&\f(CW\(if/etc/fdprm\(is\fR (usually named 360/360,
etc.). For autodetecting floppy devices, these parameters stay in
effect until the media is changed. For "fixed parameter" devices, they
stay in effect until they are changed again.
.PP
\&\fR\&\f(CWSetfdprm\fR can also be used by the superuser to redefine the
default formats.

.SH Options
.IP
.TP
\&\fR\&\f(CW-p\ \fIdevice\ name\fR\&\f(CW\fR\
Permanently loads a new parameter set for the specified auto-configuring
floppy device for the configuration with \fIname\fR in
\&\fR\&\f(CW\(if/etc/fdprm\(is\fR. Alternatively, the parameters can be given directly
from the command line.
.TP
\&\fR\&\f(CW-c\ \fIdevice\fR\&\f(CW\fR\
Clears the parameter set of the specified auto-configuring floppy device.
.TP
\&\fR\&\f(CW-y\ \fIdevice\fR\&\f(CW\fR\
Enables format detection messages for the specified auto-configuring floppy
device.
.TP
\&\fR\&\f(CW-n\ \fIdevice\fR\&\f(CW\fR\
Disables format detection messages for the specified auto-configuring
floppy device.
