1 GPT fdisk (consisting of the gdisk, cgdisk, sgdisk, and fixparts programs)
2 is a set of text-mode partitioning tools for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X,
3 and Windows.
4 The gdisk, cgdisk, and sgdisk programs work on Globally Unique Identifier
5 (GUID) Partition Table (GPT) disks, rather than on the older (and once more
6 common) Master Boot Record (MBR) partition tables.
7 The fixparts program repairs certain types of damage to MBR disks and
8 enables changing partition types from primary to logical and vice-versa.
9 You can learn more about fixparts on its dedicated Web page.
