  NAME

    floppypar - Partitioned floppy header format

  DESCRIPTION

    The mkpar command is used to divide a floppy into one or more logical
    sections called partitions.  Information about each partition is contained
    in the floppy partition header (floppypar) that resides on the first block
    of a partitioned floppy.

    The organization of the floppy header is as follows, where n < 86:

                                  of logical partition n

    The magic number is 0x73616e65.

    The number of logical partitions is a 16-bit unsigned integer value.

    The partition number and the modifier number of each logical partition are
    8-bit unsigned integer values.

    The first block and last block values for each logical partition are 16-
    bit unsigned integer values.
