CLI filesystem format tool

Is there a simple command line tool in FreeBSD for creating a filesystem
on an already extant slice?
I'm working on a system with three main slices -- ad0s1, ad0s2, and
ad0s3. The ad0s2 slice is further split up into the default parts of a
FreeBSD install. The ad0s1 slice is in use by another OS. The ad0s3
slice has nothing of value on it, and I want to make it a FreeBSD-native
filesystem then mount it at /usr/home.
I've been hoping to find something akin to the Linux tool mkfs for this
purpose, but so far have come up empty. Isn't there something that
works similarly to that? Example:
command /dev/ad0s3 fstype
