*-a*, *--append*::
Don't create a new partition table, but only append the specified partitions.
+
-Note that unused partition maybe be re-used in this case although it is not the last partition in the partition table. See also *-N* to specify entry in the partition table.
+Note that in this case an unused partition may be re-used even though it is
+not the last partition in the partition table. See also *-N* for addressing a
+specific entry in the partition table.
*-b*, *--backup*::
Back up the current partition table sectors before starting the partitioning. The default backup file name is _~/sfdisk-<device>-<offset>.bak_; to use another name see option *-O*, *--backup-file*. See section *BACKING UP THE PARTITION TABLE* for more details.
Deprecated option. Only the sector unit is supported. This option is not supported when using the *--show-size* command.
*-X*, *--label* _type_::
-Specify the disk label type (e.g., *dos*, *gpt*, ...). If this option is not given, then *sfdisk* defaults to the existing label, but if there is no label on the device yet, then the type defaults to *dos*. The default or the current label may be overwritten by the "label: <name>" script header line. The option *--label* does not force *sfdisk* to create empty disk label (see the *EMPTY DISK LABEL* section below).

*-Y*, *--label-nested* _type_::
Force editing of a nested disk label. The primary disk label has to exist already. This option allows editing for example a hybrid/protective MBR on devices with GPT.
Raw output (no columnation).
*-s*, *--system-accs*::
-Show system accounts. These are by default all accounts with a UID between 101 and 999 (inclusive), with the exception of either nobody or nfsnobody (UID 65534). This hardcoded default may be overwritten by parameters *SYS_UID_MIN* and *SYS_UID_MAX* in the file _/etc/login.defs_.

*--time-format* _type_::
Display dates in short, full or iso format. The default is short, this time format is designed to be space efficient and human readable.
*-u*, *--user-accs*::
-Show user accounts. These are by default all accounts with UID above 1000 (inclusive), with the exception of either nobody or nfsnobody (UID 65534). This hardcoded default maybe overwritten by parameters UID_MIN and UID_MAX in the file _/etc/login.defs_.

Display a calendar for the next twelve months.
*-w*, *--week*[**=**_number_]::
-Display week numbers in the calendar according to the US or ISO-8601 format. If
-a _number_ is specified, the requested week will be printed in the desired or
-current year. The _number_ may be overwritten if _day_ and _month_ are also
-specified.

*lscpu* gathers CPU architecture information from _sysfs_, _/proc/cpuinfo_ and any applicable architecture-specific libraries (e.g. *librtas* on Powerpc). The command output can be optimized for parsing or for easy readability by humans. The information includes, for example, the number of CPUs, threads, cores, sockets, and Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) nodes. There is also information about the CPU caches and cache sharing, family, model, bogoMIPS, byte order, and stepping.
-The default output formatting on terminal is subject to change and maybe optimized for better readability. The output for non-terminals (e.g., pipes) is never affected by this optimization and it is always in "Field: data\n" format. Use for example "*lscpu | less*" to see the default output without optimizations.

In virtualized environments, the CPU architecture information displayed reflects the configuration of the guest operating system which is typically different from the physical (host) system. On architectures that support retrieving physical topology information, *lscpu* also displays the number of physical sockets, chips, cores in the host system.
//TRANSLATORS: Keep {asterisk} untranslated.
*-a*, *--all*::
-Enter all namespaces of the target process by the default _/proc/[pid]/ns/{asterisk}_ namespace paths. The default paths to the target process namespaces may be overwritten by namespace specific options (e.g., *--all --mount*=[_path_]).

+namespace paths. The default paths to the target process namespaces may be overridden

The user namespace will be ignored if the same as the caller's current user namespace. It prevents a caller that has dropped capabilities from regaining those capabilities via a call to setns(). See *setns*(2) for more details.
Note that in versions 2.35 to 2.40, the additional locations were only read if the default _/etc/issue_ file did not exist. However, since version 2.41, the additional locations are always read, regardless of the existence of the _/etc/issue_ file. This change allows for the generation of issue files by default.
-The default paths maybe completely overridden by *--issue-file* option. In this case specified path has to be file or directory and all the default issue file and directory locations are ignored.

The issue file feature can be completely disabled by *--noissue* option.
