*-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.

*--bytes*::
Print SIZE in bytes rather than in human readable format.
Don't tell the kernel about partition changes. This option is recommended together with *--no-reread* to modify a partition on used disk. The modified partition should not be used (e.g., mounted).
*-O*, *--backup-file* _path_::
-Override the default backup file name. Note that the device name and offset are always appended to the file name.
+Override the default backup filename. Note that the device name and offset are always appended to the filename.
*--move-data*[**=**__path__]::
Move data after partition relocation, for example when moving the beginning of a partition to another place on the disk. The size of the partition has to remain the same, the new and old location may overlap. This option requires option *-N* in order to be processed on one specific partition only.
+
-The optional _path_ specifies log file name. The log file contains information about all read/write operations on the partition data. The word "@default" as a _path_ forces *sfdisk* to use _~/sfdisk-<devname>.move_ for the log. The log is optional since v2.35.

Note that this operation is risky and not atomic. *Don't forget to backup your data!*

== WARNING
-The renaming has no safeguards by default or without any one of the options *--no-overwrite*, *--interactive* or *--no-act*. If the user has permission to rewrite file names, the command will perform the action without any questions. For example, the result can be quite drastic when the command is run as root in the _/lib_ directory. Always make a backup before running the command, unless you truly know what you are doing.

This option is required when using the *--setepoch* function. The minimum _year_ value is 1900. The maximum is system dependent (*ULONG_MAX - 1*).
*-f*, **--rtc=**__filename__::
-Override *hwclock*'s default rtc device file name. Otherwise it will use the first one found in this order: _/dev/rtc_, _/dev/rtc0_, _/dev/misc/rtc_. For *IA-64:* _/dev/efirtc_ _/dev/misc/efirtc_

*-l*, *--localtime*; *-u*, *--utc*::
Indicate which timescale the Hardware Clock is set to.
Updates the Windows-specific HIDDEN (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN) attribute when creating and moving or renaming files. Files whose names start with a dot will have the HIDDEN attribute set and files whose names do not start with a dot will have it unset.
**windows_names**::
-Prevents the creation of files and directories with a name not allowed by Windows, either because it contains some not allowed character (which are the characters “ * / : < > ? \ | and those whose code is less than 0x20), because the name (with or without extension) is a reserved file name (CON, AUX, NUL, PRN, LPT1-9, COM1-9) or because the last character is a space or a dot. Existing such files can still be read and renamed.

**discard**::
Enable support of the TRIM command for improved performance on delete operations, which is recommended for use with the solid-state drives (SSD).
Choose which hash function reiserfs will use to find files within directories.

*rupasov*;;
-A hash invented by Yury Yu. Rupasov. It is fast and preserves locality, mapping lexicographically close file names to close hash values. This option should not be used, as it causes a high probability of hash collisions.

*tea*;;
A Davis-Meyer function implemented by Jeremy Fitzhardinge. It uses hash permuting bits in the name. It gets high randomness and, therefore, low probability of hash collisions at some CPU cost. This may be used if *EHASHCOLLISION* errors are experienced with the r5 hash.
Writes a snapshot of the virtual console with the given number to the file specified with the *--file* option, overwriting its contents; the default is _screen.dump_. Without an argument, it dumps the current virtual console. This overrides *--append*.
*--file* _filename_::
-Sets the snapshot file name for any *--dump* or *--append* options on the same command line. If this option is not present, the default is _screen.dump_ in the current directory. A path name that exceeds the system maximum will be truncated, see *PATH_MAX* from _linux/limits.h_ for the value.
