100% right in the sense that probably all kernel GPT code also appears
in GPT disk utility.



100% wrong in the sense that the kernel GPT code is ~100 lines, maybe
less.


the 'utility' to create this is some sort of FDISK. a bit more
complicated. easy a couple of 1000's lines of code.

and a bit useless as it can - for now - be replaced by linux/windows
tools.

that's like looking for your keys under the street lamp.
you know you didn't loose theme here, but it's much brighter here so
they would be so much easier to find here.
