I'm working on a partitioner front-end to parted, and I noticed that in
machine mode parted doesn't print the partition type (primary, extended,
logical) when listing the partitions. The field is printed in normal
mode. The attached patch adds that to the end of the partition information.
I'm not sure this is the right position to put the item, but adding at
the end seemed safest. You really need that information, and I'd prefer
to not have to dump it in normal mode to get this one item and then dump
it in machine mode to get everything else.
Thanks,

The machine mode did not print out the partition type if it was an
extended partition. It does print this information in normal mode.
This patch adds printing of the "primary", "extended", or "logical"
as a new field at the end of extended mode.
