The command LIF INIT optionally formats and initializes a new directory on a LIF disk.
Syntax

<d>: Drive specifier (702:, A:).
[name] Optional new LIF directory name (up to 6 characters).
/U Show usage information for this command.
/F Format disk before initializing directory. This operation may take a few minutes to
complete. This operation may not be necessary if the disk is already formatted.
Disks can only be formatted on external HP-IB disk drives.
/O:<opt> Format option. This integer number specifies the disk sector size and other disk
drive dependent information. Refer to your disk drive owner’s manual for possible
values and their specific meaning. (If you have an HP 9122 or HP 9127, see the
formatting options on the following pages.) If not specified, then a format option of

used if format disk (/F) is specified.
/W Wait for keyboard prompt before and after performing operation. This is useful for
a PC with only two disk drives; you can swap out the disk with the LIF.EXE
program to insert a LIF or DOS disk.
Caution Do not eject disk while formatting.
