+A set of commands to work with XFS filesystems, including mkfs.xfs(8).
+
+XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated on the
+SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can support large
+files and large filesystems, extended attributes, variable block sizes,
+is extent based, and makes extensive use of B-trees (for directories,
+extents, free space) to aid both performance and scalability.
