RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.70  02-Jul-2019  wiz Sort and unify a bit. Add more macros.
 1.69  02-Jul-2019  mlelstv Add options to define labelsector and -offset and number of slices.
Make options to chose alternate label position for systems using MBR
more intuitive. -m now selects mode with MBR, -n selects mode without,
independent of the machine defaults.
 1.68  03-Jul-2017  wiz branches: 1.68.6;
Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.
 1.67  11-Sep-2016  sevan Remove ignored Pp macro, highlighted by mandoc -Tlint.
 1.66  11-Sep-2016  sevan Document the version disklabel first appeared.
Fix spelling mistakes.
Replace contraction.
Bump date.
 1.65  29-Apr-2015  christos Add missing doc flags (B,M,m)
 1.64  02-Aug-2011  wiz Sort sections. Remove comma in enumeration of two items.
 1.63  25-Jul-2011  christos mention that we don't handle more than 2TB disks/partitions.
 1.62  28-Nov-2009  abs Shuffle the order of examples to put the interactive option (-i) ahead
of $EDITOR and "disklabel -w -r /dev/rsd0c sd2212 foo"
 1.61  27-Jan-2007  perry As pointed out by James Wetterau, we wish to complement, as in the
logical operation, rather than compliment, as in praise, the magic
number of the disk.

There are probably other instances of this in the tree. We should fix
them.
 1.60  26-Nov-2006  jmmv Add a '-l' flag and a 'L' command to interactive mode to list all known
file system types. (Similar to what fdisk does for partition types.)

Closes PR bin/12954.
 1.59  04-Feb-2006  wiz Use more markup, fix xref, serial comma, other misc. fixes.
 1.58  29-Jan-2006  dsl Update/rewrite to match reality and in a muchmore succinct format.
 1.57  19-Jun-2005  wiz Quote Fr so options are sorted properly.
 1.56  17-Jun-2005  dsl Rip out the support for writing bootstrap code. installboot(8) contains
support for hp300, hp700 and vax, $MACHINE is never arm32.
Fix usage output to only contain progname() once - bug introduced in rev 1.89
 1.55  15-Jun-2005  dsl Rip out the references to the installation of more than one bootstrap file.
Only arm32 needs the -B stuff at all, all other ports use installboot(8).
 1.54  28-May-2004  snj Bump date for last. Put the exit EXIT STATUS section in the right place.
New sentence, new line. Correct two typos.
 1.53  28-May-2004  erh Make it possible to distinguish between exit values that indicate errors,
and those that are warnings. Document the exit statuses in the man page.
 1.52  20-Mar-2004  wiz Single-letter options do not need a line each; add more
commas; drop trailing whitespace; use Pa where appropriate.
 1.51  19-Mar-2004  dyoung Add flag -F to disklabel. Flag -F indicates that the target of the
disklabel operation is a file, not a disk. With -t disktab and -T
disktype, the user may tell disklabel the "geometry" for the file.
 1.50  18-Mar-2004  wiz Add Xref to mscdlabel, bump date.
 1.49  10-Nov-2003  fvdl Bring back disklabel -B for now, since hp300 installboot isn't ready
for prime time yet.
 1.48  08-Nov-2003  dsl Rip out all the '-B bootblock' support, everything should use installboot(8).
(can only affect arm32, hp300 and vax ports, and doesn't affect sysinst).
 1.47  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22308, verified by myself.
 1.46  13-Jul-2003  lukem xref dkctl(8)
 1.45  06-May-2003  wiz Bump date for last.
 1.44  02-May-2003  gmcgarry Document -I option. From Richard Rauch <rauch@math.rice.edu>
in PR#11890.
 1.43  25-Feb-2003  wiz .Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.
 1.42  21-Oct-2002  rtr Removed "disklabel -I [-r] [-C] disk" from SYNOPSIS.

The code does not permit usage of the -I flag without either -e or -i.
 1.41  28-Sep-2002  wiz mdoc nits. New sentence, new line. Remove a comment about tahoe.
 1.40  19-Aug-2002  enami Fix an argument to -width option of .Bl macro.
 1.39  08-Feb-2002  ross Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.
 1.38  14-Dec-2001  fredette The sun2 also requires partitions in integer cylinders.
 1.37  24-Nov-2001  perry Note in far more places that -B is only supported on some platforms.
 1.36  16-Nov-2001  wiz Simplify markup in one place, and sort sections and SEE ALSO.
 1.35  05-Jun-2001  wiz Drop arguments of .Os.

 1.32  12-Aug-2000  jhawk "boostrap" => "bootstrap"
 1.31  13-Jul-2000  hubertf 'disklabel -i' on a disk without a label recommends to use -I. Document
that in the usage.
 1.30  31-May-2000  fvdl branches: 1.30.2;
Add a -I flag which, combined with -e, gives the user the opportunity
to edit and create a new label on a virgin disk.
 1.29  09-Mar-2000  hubertf branches: 1.29.2;
s/comprised/composed/, per PR 9586 by Seebs <seebs@ged.plethora.net>
 1.28  31-Jan-2000  soda mention that hpcmips and arc use `d' as RAW_PART.
 1.27  03-Jun-1999  cgd kill some bogus comments about -r: it _does not_ cause the boot area to
be clobbered. since 4.4-Lite(?) disklabel.c has gone to extra effort
to avoid clobbering the boot area when using -r, but the 4.4-Lite manual
pages were apparently not updated to note that!
 1.26  09-Apr-1999  kleink Update for sparc64.
 1.25  07-Mar-1999  mycroft branches: 1.25.2;
Clean up SYNOPSIS formatting.

Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>. (Very) slightly tweaked disklabel.8
 1.23  27-Apr-1998  fair Clarify the documentation of the "-B" option, inspired by PR#5262.
Contrary to the PR, the "-B" option does work, but not on all platforms.
 1.22  01-Jan-1998  enami Add missing -C flag in SYNOPSIS
 1.21  01-Jan-1998  enami Fix typo; the flag for interactive disklabel creation is not -e but -i.
Also, make the description of -C flag into separate paragraph.
 1.20  18-Oct-1997  fair additional sun3/sparc warning about the "-r" option.
 1.19  14-Oct-1997  fair add a warning about sun3 and sparc systems requiring partitions in integer cylinders or the boot ROMs get upset, per PR#3267. Is that it?
 1.18  11-Oct-1997  enami - Use .Nm "" instead of .Nm disklabel in SYNOPSIS.
- Do a trick to remove whitespace before close paren from generated output.
- Delete space at the end of line.
 1.17  10-Oct-1997  lukem all but the first .Nm in SYNOPSIS need to be spelt out. [bin/4256]
 1.16  14-Sep-1997  lukem - cleanup use of .Nm
- xref installboot(8)
- deprecate register
 1.15  02-Jul-1997  mikel s/except/accept/, from John F. Woods in PR bin/3802
 1.14  29-May-1997  cgd Fix broken uses of Dd. Both the mdoc and mdoc.samples pages agree:
.Dd is supposed to be invoked like:
.Dd month day, year
e.g. ".Dd January 25, 1989", rather than:
.Dd "month day, year"
which is what these pages did.
 1.13  08-Mar-1997  christos Add -i (interactive mode to create/edit labels) inspired by the SunOS/Solaris
format/partition command.
 1.12  02-Oct-1996  christos PR/1551: clarify usage in manual page

Misc cleanups...
 1.11  29-Jun-1996  pk Allow display and editing of partition size & offset fields in
<cyl/track/sector> format. This format is always excepted on input
(`-e' and `-R'); to display it use `-C'.
 1.10  16-Jan-1996  hpeyerl PR487. From John Kohl. (more examples and some corrections)
 1.9  18-Mar-1995  cgd convert to new RCS Id conventions; reduce my headache
 1.8  22-Sep-1994  mycroft Finish 4.4-Lite merge, and convert to use err(3)/warn(3) functions.
 1.7  24-Jun-1994  hpeyerl disklabel(8) from 4.4 merged with our old disklabel(8) by John Brezak
