RFormat</title><shortdesc>This topic describes how to format a device.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The <xref href="GUID-9D7E765B-6872-3EB9-9D5B-1503FA466EC1.dita"><apiname>RFormat</apiname></xref> class formats a device, one step at a time. </p>

<p>The object must first be opened on a device, and then each track is formatted

using <codeph>Next()</codeph>. The following code fragment shows how this

is done: </p>

<codeblock id="GUID-AAC0A2B2-4C5A-55F8-9DA4-820D42C27457" xml:space="preserve">...

_LIT(KDriveA,"A:");

...

RFs fs;

User::LeaveIfError(fs.Connect());

...

RFormat format;

TInt tracksRemaining;

User::LeaveIfError(format.Open(fs,KDriveA,EHighDensity,tracksRemaining));

while (tracksRemaining)

    {

    User::LeaveIfError(format.Next(tracksRemaining));

    }

format.Close();</codeblock>
