NAME
       atari-fdisk - Atari partition editor

SYNOPSIS
       atari-fdisk [ -f ] [ -l ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -v ] [ -x ] [ -O
       file ] [ -I file ] device

DESCRIPTION
       atari-fdisk is an editor for Atari  partition  tables.  It
       has  an	interactive menu for most actions. It operates on
       the disk associated with device.

OPTIONS
       -f     Force operation on disks from which partitions seem
	      to be mounted.  (This is generally no good idea!)

       -l     List partition tables of all disks. If this flag is
	      given, interactive mode isn't entered.

       -r     Open the disk device in  read-only  mode.  You  can
	      view  the  partition  table  then, but cannot write
	      back a modified table to disk.

       -s     Only print the size (in blocks)  of  the	partition
	      device.  Note that device should be a single parti
	      tion device (e.g.   /dev/sda1),  not  a  whole-disk
	      device (e.g. /dev/sda), for this.

       -v     Show version of the program.

       -x     Enter expert mode immediately. Expert mode can also
	      be switched on by a menu item.

       -O file
	      Save the partition tables of device to a file file.
	      This file can later be used to restore all the par
	      tition information with the -I option.

       -I file
	      Read a partition table from  file  (that	has  been
	      created with -O) and write it back to disk.
