Description : tools to create, check and label exFAT filesystems
Tools to manage extended file allocation table filesystem.
This package provides tools to create, check and label the
filesystem. It contains
- mkfs.exfat to create an exFAT filesystem
- fsck.exfat to check and repair an exFAT filesystem
- tune.exfat to print and edit the filesystem label
The tools included in this package are the exfatprogs
maintained by Samsung engineers, who provided Linux exFAT
support. A similar but independent implementation of these
tools, written by the author of the exfat-fuse implementation,
are available in the exfat-utils package.
Since people started to ping me about getting this one introduced
I now give in and pick it up. I plan to continue for now the
maintenance of the fuse-exfat and exfat-utils packages.
While fuse-exfat can be coinstalled at any moment exfat-utils and
exfatprogs will for now conflict with each other.
Maybe I later on drop the mkfs.exfat and fsck.exfat links from
the exfat-utils package.
