It -can also tell the kernel to add or remove partitions from its -bookkeeping. -.PP -The -.I disk -argument is optional when a -.I partition -argument is provided. To force scanning a partition as if it were a whole disk -(for example to list nested subpartitions), use the argument "\-" (hyphen-minus). -For example: - -.RS 7 -.TP -partx \-\-show \- /dev/sda3 -.RE -.PP -This will see sda3 as a whole-disk rather than as a partition. -.PP -.B partx is not an fdisk program -\(en adding and removing partitions does not change the disk, it just -tells the kernel about the presence and numbering of on-disk -partitions. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.BR \-a , " \-\-add" -Add the specified partitions, or read the disk and add all partitions. -.TP -.BR \-b , " \-\-bytes" -Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable format. -.TP -.BR \-d , " \-\-delete" -Delete the specified partitions or all partitions. -.TP -.BR \-g , " \-\-noheadings" -Do not print a header line with \fB\-\-show\fR or \fB\-\-raw\fR. -.TP -.BR \-l , " \-\-list" -List the partitions. Note that all numbers are in 512-byte sectors. -This output format is DEPRECATED in favour of -.BR \-\-show . -Do not use it in newly written scripts. -.TP -.BR \-n , " \-\-nr " \fIM : \fIN -Specify the range of partitions. For backward compatibility also the -format \fIM\fB\-\fIN\fR is supported. -The range may contain negative numbers, for example -.B \-\-nr \-1:\-1 -means the last partition, and -.B \-\-nr \-2:\-1 -means the last two partitions. Supported range specifications are: -.RS 14 -.TP -.I M -Specifies just one partition (e.g.\& \fB\-\-nr 3\fR). -.TP -.IB M : -Specifies the lower limit only (e.g.\& \fB\-\-nr 2:\fR). -.TP -.BI : N -Specifies the upper limit only (e.g.\& \fB\-\-nr :4\fR). -.TP -.IB M : N -Specifies the lower and upper limits (e.g.\& \fB\-\-nr 2:4\fR). -.RE -.TP -.BR \-o , " \-\-output " \fIlist -Define the output columns to use for -.BR \-\-show , -.B \-\-pairs -and -.B \-\-raw -output. If no output arrangement is specified, then a default set is -used. Use -.B \-\-help -to get -.I list -of all supported columns. This option cannot be combined with the -.BR \-\-add , -.BR \-\-delete , -.BR \-\-update -or -.B \-\-list -options. -.TP -.BR \-P , " \-\-pairs" -List the partitions using the KEY="value" format. -.TP -.BR \-r , " \-\-raw" -List the partitions using the raw output format. -.TP -.BR \-s , " \-\-show" -List the partitions. -The output columns can be selected and rearranged with the -\fB\-\-output\fR option. -All numbers (except SIZE) are in 512-byte sectors. -.TP -.BR \-t , " \-\-type " \fItype -Specify the partition table type. -.TP -.BR \-\-list\-types -List supported partition types and exit. -.TP -.BR \-u , " \-\-update" -Update the specified partitions. -.TP -.BR \-S , " \-\-sector\-size " \fIsize -Overwrite default sector size. -.TP -.BR \-v , " \-\-verbose" -Verbose mode. -.TP -.BR \-V , " \-\-version" -Display version information and exit. -.TP -.BR \-h , " \-\-help" -Display help text and exit. -.SH EXAMPLES -.TP -partx \-\-show /dev/sdb3 -.TQ -partx \-\-show \-\-nr 3 /dev/sdb -.TQ -partx \-\-show /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb -All three commands list partition 3 of /dev/sdb. -.TP -partx \-\-show \- /dev/sdb3 -Lists all subpartitions on /dev/sdb3 (the device is used as -whole-disk). -.TP -partx \-o START \-g \-\-nr 5 /dev/sdb -Prints the start sector of partition 5 on /dev/sdb without header. -.TP -partx \-o SECTORS,SIZE /dev/sda5 /dev/sda -Lists the length in sectors and human-readable size of partition 5 on -/dev/sda. -.TP -partx \-\-add \-\-nr 3:5 /dev/sdd -Adds all available partitions from 3 to 5 (inclusive) on /dev/sdd. -.TP -partx \-d \-\-nr :\-1 /dev/sdd -Removes the last partition on /dev/sdd. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR addpart (8), -.BR delpart (8), -.BR fdisk (8), -.BR parted (8), -.BR partprobe (8) -.SH AUTHORS -.MT dave@gnu.org -Davidlohr Bueso -.ME -.br -.MT kzak@redhat.com -Karel Zak -.ME -.PP -The original version was written by -.MT aeb@cwi.nl -Andries E.\& Brouwer -.ME . -.SH ENVIRONMENT -.IP LIBBLKID_DEBUG=all -enables libblkid debug output. -.SH AVAILABILITY -The partx command is part of the util-linux package and is available from -.UR https://\:www.kernel.org\:/pub\:/linux\:/utils\:/util-linux/ -Linux Kernel Archive -.UE .
