-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All,
I just made a commit to master that adds the '-m' option for machine parseable output. This should make it easier for scripts to quickly extract disk information. The option only works for the 'print' family of commands. Here's a brief description of the output format: - - All lines end with a semicolon (;) - - The first line indicates the units in which the output is expressed. CHS, CYL and BYT stands for CHS, Cylinder and Bytes respectively. - - The second line is made of disk information in the following format: "path":"size":"transport-type":"logical-sector-size":"physical-sector-size":"partition-table-type":"model-name"; - - If the first line was either CYL or CHS, the next line will contain information on no. of cylinders, heads, sectors and cylinder size. - - Partition information begins from the next line. This is of the format: (for BYT) "number":"begin":"end":"size":"filesystem-type":"partition-name":"flags-set"; (for CHS/CYL) "number":"begin":"end":"filesystem-type":"partition-name":"flags-set"; Your comments on the system will be appreciated. Also, any suggestions on which other commands we would like such output would be helpful. The commit also removes the '-i' flag, if you think we need it; feel free to revert that part. Cheers, Anant -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFcc6TTon3xA72kU4RAnBPAJ9NaVqIveuQQToaF9z1tedXN2pvnwCdGDtO DY5xT3o4vWzTRUynBg6Ce5Q= =41cM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
