Subject: [gentoo-user] where is 'mke2fs' ?

1 I need to rewrite the filesystem on a USB stick after it got damaged.
2 My notes tell me to use 'mke2fs', but 'which' doesn't find it :
3 has it been replaced by something else ?
4 I have 'e2fsprogs' installed, but there's no 'man' file for it
5 & it doesn't seem to create filesystems.
6 There is a utility 'sys-fs/genext2fs', which I emerged & looked at,
7 but it's not clear whether it does the simple job I need.
8
9 Can anyone advise ?
