<b>Description:</b>
<ul>
<p>
- The <code>setenv()</code> function adds the variable <code>name</code> to the environment with the
- specified <code>value</code> if the variable <code>name</code> does not exist. If the <code>name</code>
- does exist in the environment, then its value is changed to <code>value</code> if <code>overwrite</code>
- is non-zero; if <code>overwrite</code> is zero, then the value of <code>name</code> is unaltered.
+ The <code>mkfafs()</code> formats a FAT file system image on the block
+ device specified by <code>pathname</code>
+ </p>
+ <p>Assumptions: The caller must assure that the block driver is not mounted and not in
+ use when this function is called.
+ The result of formatting a mounted device is indeterminate (but likely not good).
