+.TH PARTED 8 "2021 September 28" parted "GNU Parted Manual"
+.SH NAME
+parted \- a partition manipulation program
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B parted
+[options] [device [command [options...]...]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B parted
+is a program to manipulate disk partitions.  It supports multiple partition
+table formats, including MS-DOS and GPT.  It is useful for creating space for
+new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, and copying data to new hard
+disks.
+.PP
+This manual page documents \fBparted\fP briefly.  Complete documentation is
+distributed with the package in GNU Info format.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B -h, --help
+displays a help message
+.TP
+.B -l, --list
+lists partition layout on all block devices
+.TP
+.B -m, --machine
+displays machine parseable output
+.TP
+.B -j, --json
+displays JSON output
+.TP
+.B -s, --script
+never prompts for user intervention
+.TP
+.B -f, --fix
+automatically answer "fix" to exceptions in script mode
+.TP
+.B -v, --version
+displays the version
+.TP
+.B -a \fIalignment-type\fP, --align \fIalignment-type\fP
+Set alignment for newly created partitions, valid alignment types are:
+.RS
+.IP none
+Use the minimum alignment allowed by the disk type.
+.IP cylinder
+Align partitions to cylinders.
+.IP minimal
+Use minimum alignment as given by the disk topology information. This and
+the opt value will use layout information provided by the disk to align the
+logical partition table addresses to actual physical blocks on the disks.
+The min value is the minimum alignment needed to align the partition properly to
+physical blocks, which avoids performance degradation.
+.IP optimal
+Use optimum alignment as given by the disk topology information. This
+aligns to a multiple of the physical block size in a way that guarantees
+optimal performance.
+.RE
+
+.SH COMMANDS
+.TP
+.B [device]
+The block device to be used.  When none is given, \fBparted\fP will use the
+first block device it finds.
+.TP
+.B [command [options]]
+Specifies the command to be executed.  If no command is given,
+.BR parted
+will present a command prompt.  Possible commands are:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B help \fI[command]\fP
+Print general help, or help on \fIcommand\fP if specified.
+.TP
+.B align-check \fItype\fP \fIpartition\fP
+Check if \fIpartition\fP satisfies the alignment constraint of \fItype\fP.
+\fItype\fP must be "minimal" or "optimal".
+.TP
+.B mklabel \fIlabel-type\fP
+Create a new disklabel (partition table) of \fIlabel-type\fP.  \fIlabel-type\fP
+should be one of "aix", "amiga", "bsd", "dvh", "gpt", "loop", "mac", "msdos",
+"pc98", or "sun".
+.TP
+.B mkpart [\fIpart-type\fP \fIname\fP \fIfs-type\fP] \fIstart\fP \fIend\fP
+Create a new partition. \fIpart-type\fP may be specified only with msdos and
+dvh partition tables, it should be one of "primary", "logical", or "extended".
+\fIname\fP is required for GPT partition tables and \fIfs-type\fP is optional.
+\fIfs-type\fP can be one of "btrfs", "ext2", "ext3", "ext4", "fat16", "fat32",
+"hfs", "hfs+", "linux-swap", "ntfs", "reiserfs", "udf", or "xfs".
+.TP
+.B name \fIpartition\fP \fIname\fP
+Set the name of \fIpartition\fP to \fIname\fP. This option works only on Mac,
+PC98, and GPT disklabels. The name can be placed in double quotes, if necessary.
+And depending on the shell may need to also be wrapped in single quotes so that
+the shell doesn't strip off the double quotes.
+.TP
+.B print \fIprint-type\fP
+Display the partition table.
+\fIprint-type\fP is optional, and can be one of devices, free, list, or all.
+.TP
+.B quit
+Exit from \fBparted\fP.
+.TP
+.B rescue \fIstart\fP \fIend\fP
+Rescue a lost partition that was located somewhere between \fIstart\fP and
+\fIend\fP.  If a partition is found, \fBparted\fP will ask if you want to
+create an entry for it in the partition table.
+.TP
+.B resizepart \fIpartition\fP \fIend\fP
+Change the \fIend\fP position of \fIpartition\fP.  Note that this does not
+modify any filesystem present in the partition.
+.TP
+.B rm \fIpartition\fP
+Delete \fIpartition\fP.
+.TP
+.B select \fIdevice\fP
+Choose \fIdevice\fP as the current device to edit. \fIdevice\fP should usually
+be a Linux hard disk device, but it can be a partition, software raid device,
+or an LVM logical volume if necessary.
+.TP
+.B set \fIpartition\fP \fIflag\fP \fIstate\fP
+Change the state of the \fIflag\fP on \fIpartition\fP to \fIstate\fP.
+Supported flags are: "boot", "root", "swap", "hidden", "raid", "lvm", "lba",
+"legacy_boot", "irst", "msftres", "esp", "chromeos_kernel", "bls_boot", "linux-home",
+"no_automount", "bios_grub", and "palo".
+\fIstate\fP should be either "on" or "off".
+.TP
+.B unit \fIunit\fP
+Set \fIunit\fP as the unit to use when displaying locations and sizes, and for
+interpreting those given by the user when not suffixed with an explicit unit.
+\fIunit\fP can be one of "s" (sectors), "B" (bytes), "kB", "MB", "KiB", "MiB", "GB",
+"GiB", "TB", "TiB", "%" (percentage of device size), "cyl" (cylinders), "chs"
+(cylinders, heads, sectors), or "compact" (megabytes for input, and a
+human-friendly form for output).
+.TP
+.B toggle \fIpartition\fP \fIflag\fP
+Toggle the state of \fIflag\fP on \fIpartition\fP.
+.TP
+.B type \fIpartition\fP \fIid\fP or \fIuuid\fP
+On MS-DOS set the type aka. partition id of \fIpartition\fP to
+\fIid\fP. The \fIid\fP is a value between "0x01" and "0xff". On GPT
+the type-uuid of \fIpartition\fP to \fIuuid\fP.
+.TP
+.B disk_set \fIflag\fP \fIstate\fP
+Change a \fIflag\fP on the disk to \fIstate\fP. A flag can be either "on" or "off".
+Some or all of these flags will be available, depending on what disk label you
+are using.  Supported flags are: "pmbr_boot" on GPT to enable the boot flag on the
+GPT's protective MBR partition.
+.TP
+.B disk_toggle \fIflag\fP
+Toggle the state of the disk \fIflag\fP.
+.TP
+.B version
+Display version information and a copyright message.
