fdisk_add_partition ()

int
fdisk_add_partition (struct fdisk_context *cxt,
                     struct fdisk_partition *pa,
                     size_t *partno);

If pa is not specified or any pa item is missing the libfdisk will ask by fdisk_ask_ API.

Adds a new partition to disklabel.

fdisk_delete_all_partitions ()

int
fdisk_delete_all_partitions (struct fdisk_context *cxt);

Delete all used partitions from disklabel.

fdisk_delete_partition ()

int
fdisk_delete_partition (struct fdisk_context *cxt,
                        size_t partno);

Deletes a partno partition from disklabel.

fdisk_get_partition ()

int
fdisk_get_partition (struct fdisk_context *cxt,
                     size_t partno,

Reads disklabel and fills in pa with data about partition n .

Note that partno may address unused partition and then this function does not fill anything to pa . See fdisk_is_partition_used(). If pa points to NULL then the function allocates a newly allocated fdisk_partition struct, use fdisk_unref_partition() to deallocate.

int
fdisk_is_partition_used (struct fdisk_context *cxt,
                         size_t n);

int
fdisk_set_partition (struct fdisk_context *cxt,
                     size_t partno,
