It allows +you to create, destroy, resize, move, and copy \fBext2\fR, \fBext3\fR, +\fBlinux-swap\fR, \fBFAT\fR, \fBFAT32\fR, and \fBreiserfs\fR partitions. It +can create, resize, and move Macintosh HFS partitions, as well as detect +\fBjfs\fR, \fBntfs\fR, \fBufs\fR, and \fBxfs\fR partitions. It is useful for +creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying +data to new hard disks. +.sp +.LP +This manual page documents \fBparted\fR briefly. Complete \fBparted\fR +documentation is distributed with the package in "GNU Info" format. +.sp +.LP +\fBparted\fR is implemented with a set of top-level options and a set of +subcommands, most of which have their own options and operands. These +subcommands are described below. \fBparted\fR has an optional operand: +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fIdevice\fR\fR +.ad +.RS 10n +.rt +The block device to be used. When none is given, \fBparted\fR uses the first +block device it finds. +.RE + +.SH OPTIONS +.sp +.LP +The following options are supported: +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Displays a help message. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fB-i\fR, \fB--interactive\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Prompts for user intervention. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fB-l\fR, \fB--list\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Lists partition layout on all block devices. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fB-m\fR, \fB--machine\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Displays machine-parseable output. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fB-s\fR, \fB--script\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Never prompts for user intervention. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fB-v\fR, \fB--version\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Displays the version number. +.RE + +.SH SUB-COMMANDS +.sp +.LP +If you omit a subcommand in a \fBparted\fR command line, the utility issues a +command prompt. +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBcheck\fR \fIpartition\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Do a simple check on \fIpartition\fR. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBcp\fR [\fIsource-device\fR] \fIsource\fR \fIdest\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Copy the source partition's filesystem on \fIsource-device\fR (or the current +device if no other device was specified) to the \fIdest\fR partition on the +current device. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBhelp\fR \fIcommand\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Display general help, or help on a command, if specified. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBmkfs\fR \fIpartition\fR \fIfs-type\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Make a filesystem \fIfs-type\fR on partition. \fIfs-type\fR can be one of +\fBfat16\fR, \fBfat32\fR, \fBext2\fR, \fBlinux-wap\fR, or \fBreiserfs\fR. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBmklabel\fR \fIlabel-type\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Create a new disk label (partition table) of \fIlabel-type\fR. \fIlabel-type\fR +should be one of \fBbsd\fR, \fBdvh\fR, \fBgpt\fR, \fBloop\fR, \fBmac\fR, +\fBmsdos\fR, \fBpc98\fR, or \fBsun\fR. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBmkpart\fR \fIpart-type\fR [\fIfs-type\fR] \fIstart\fR \fIend\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Make a \fIpart-type\fR partition with file system \fIfs-type\fR (if specified), +beginning at \fIstart\fR and ending at \fIend\fR (by default, in megabytes). +\fIfs-type\fR can be one of \fBfat16\fR, \fBfat32\fR, \fBext2\fR, \fBHFS\fR, +\fBlinux-swap\fR, \fBNTFS\fR, \fBreiserfs\fR, or \fBufs\fR. \fIpart-type\fR +should be one of \fBprimary\fR, \fBlogical\fR, or \fBextended\fR. +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBmkpartfs\fR \fIpart-type\fR \fIfs-type\fR \fIstart\fR \fIend\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Make a \fIpart-type\fR partition with file system \fIfs-type\fR, beginning at +\fIstart\fR and ending at \fIend\fR (by default, in megabytes). +.RE + +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBmove\fR \fIpartition\fR \fIstart\fR \fIend\fR\fR +.ad +.sp .6 +.RS 4n +Move partition so that it begins at \fIstart\fR and ends at \fIend\fR.
