Function

Formats medium

Description

This function formats the RAM area of the medium to MFS format. The RAM area can be formatted only on a medium for which the disk ID's RAM use is 1. The following values can be specified for mode.

MFS_FORMAT_NORMAL	0	Normal format
MFS_FORMAT_FORCE	1	Forced format

When MFS_FORMAT_NORMAL is specified, a check is performed to determine whether or not the disk is an MFS-format disk. If it is an MFS-format disk, the volume attribute is checked. If the volume attribute indicates that the disk is protected, the disk cannot be formatted. When MFS_FORMAT_FORCE is specified, the disk is formatted without checking whether or not it is an MFS-format disk or checking its attribute.
