* Place SEE ALSO entries in orderMichael Kerrisk (man-pages)2016-11-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does only the following: * Order SEE ALSO entries first by section name, then alphabetically within section * Adds one or two missing commas in SEE ALSO lists * Removes one or two periods that were (inconsistently) used at the end of SEE ALSO lists. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
* libsmartcols: support LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG_PADDING=onKarel Zak2016-09-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This env.variable forces libsmartcols to use visible padding chars. The standard debug has to be enabled (to minimize overhead for non-debug execution). For example: $ LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG=all LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG_PADDING=on findmnt 2> ~/log Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* fdisk: add --wipe-partitions=auto|never|defaultKarel Zak2016-05-041-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The option allows to remove filesystes/RAIDs from newly created partitions before the partition table is updated (and partition device created). The default is "auto" in this case wipe is enabled in interactive mode only and user's confirmation (yes/no dialog) is required. Note that keep filesystem signature on partition is pretty valid use-case, so we don't erase anything by default. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* fdisk, sfdisk: adjust the wording of the --wipe optionBenno Schulenberg2016-03-081-6/+7
| | | | | | | Use "when" as argument, to match the argument of --color, that can have the same three values. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* fdisk, sfdisk: adjust some formatting in the man pagesBenno Schulenberg2016-03-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | Only the optional argument should be in italics, the literal = should be bold. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* fdisk: add --wipeKarel Zak2016-02-181-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes fdisk behavior and it wipes foreign signatures from the device to avoid collisions. The wipe functionality is automatically enabled in the interactive mode only (user is always warned about it), otherwise it's possible to control all by --wipe <auto|never|always>. The program does not change behavior when executed in scripts (echo <something> | fdisk), the option "--wipe=always" is required to enable in this case. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* fdisk: add --protect-bootKarel Zak2015-04-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | Now fdisk erases the begin of the device when create a new disk label, it seems like disadvantage for some use-cases. Reported-by: Jean-Loup 'clippix' Bogalho <clippix@lse.epita.fr> Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* fdisk: add support for sfdisk scriptsKarel Zak2014-11-121-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | New commands 'I' and 'O' allows to read and write sfdisk compatible scripts by fdisk. It means that you can save your work (partition table) and later use it (in fdisk, sfdisk or cfdisk) to create a new partition table. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
