+mkfs.f2fs
+---------
+The mkfs.f2fs is for the use of formatting a partition as the f2fs filesystem,
+which builds a basic on-disk layout.
+
+The options consist of:
-l [label] : Give a volume label, up to 512 unicode name.
-a [0 or 1] : Split start location of each area for heap-based allocation.
1 is set by default, which performs this.

+fsck.f2fs
+---------
+The fsck.f2fs is a tool to check the consistency of an f2fs-formatted
+partition, which examines whether the filesystem metadata and user-made data
+are cross-referenced correctly or not.
+Note that, initial version of the tool does not fix any inconsistency.
+
+The options consist of:
+ -d debug level [default:0]
+
+dump.f2fs
+---------
+The dump.f2fs shows the information of specific inode and dumps SSA and SIT to
+file. Each file is dump_ssa and dump_sit.
+
+The dump.f2fs is used to debug on-disk data structures of the f2fs filesystem.
+It shows on-disk inode information reconized by a given inode number, and is
+able to dump all the SSA and SIT entries into predefined files, ./dump_ssa and
+./dump_sit respectively.
+
+The options consist of:
+ -d debug level [default:0]
+ -i inode no (hex)
+ -s [SIT dump segno from #1~#2 (decimal), for all 0~-1]
+ -a [SSA dump segno from #1~#2 (decimal), for all 0~-1]
+
+Examples:
+# dump.f2fs -i [ino] /dev/sdx
+# dump.f2fs -s 0~-1 /dev/sdx (SIT dump)
+# dump.f2fs -a 0~-1 /dev/sdx (SSA dump)
