If format is what you want to use, an old hack is piping null as an input.
"echo | format" or "format < /dev/null"
if you're planning on using it in a script, you may look at devinfo, in
particular the -i and -p arguments. The data contained there (block size +
blocks) should give you what you need to calculate disk size. However, I'm not
certain it works with EFI labeled disks. In that case the only tool I know to
use is prtvtoc.
