How to format an external 64GB SD card (exfat) using command line?
I have an microSD card with 64GB capacity which has exFAT file system. If I insert it to my card reader, it is mounted automatically. But I am looking for a command to format the card. I installed exfat-fuse and exfat-utils, but could not find proper command to format my microSD card.

Straight from apt-cache show exfat-utils is the description:
Description-en: utilities to create, check, label and dump exFAT filesystem
Utilities to manage extended file allocation table filesystem.
This package provides tools to create, check and label the
filesystem. It contains
- dumpexfat to dump properties of the filesystem
- exfatfsck / fsck.exfat to report errors found on a exFAT filesystem
- exfatlabel to label a exFAT filesystem
- mkexfatfs / mkfs.exfat to create a exFAT filesystem.
You would use mkfs.exfat to format the partition, the same as you would use mkfs.fat to format a normal FAT partition.

open the terminal:
1/ type "man mkfs.exfat", to read how to use it.
2/ type "sudo fdisk -l", to determine where your sd card is mounted. example: /dev/sdc
3/ to format a 128gb SD card and give it the name of "sdxc128",
type "sudo mkfs.exfat -n sdxc128 /dev/sdc"
