.SH Note
This manpage has been automatically generated from fdutils's texinfo
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as cross-references, footnotes and indices are lost in this
translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
representation in the manpage format. Moreover, only the items specific
to each command have been translated, and the general information about
fdutils has been dropped in the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
you to use the original texinfo doc.

The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as HTML. Indeed, in
the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.

\&\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/mediaprm\(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

\&\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/mediaprm\(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.
