NAME
       amiga-fdisk - Amiga disk partitioning program

SYNOPSIS
       amiga-fdisk [ -l ] [ -v ] device

DESCRIPTION
       amiga-fdisk  is	a  program  to	partition harddisks under
       Linux/m68k. It uses command  line  parameters  similar  to
       those  of  the  PC fdisk program, and operates on the disk
       associated with device.	In interactive mode,  it  behaves
       similarly to the fdisk program.

OPTIONS
       -l     List partition tables of all disks. If this flag is
	      given, interactive mode isn't entered.

       -v     Show version of the program.

BUGS
       Many of the command line options known from fdisk have not
       been implemented yet.

       Using  amiga-fdisk  on large harddisks (like larger than 2
       GB) consumes lots of  memory,  as  the  program	currently
       tries to read in the entire RDB blocks - which can be sev
       eral MB if the (reported) geometry of  the  disk	says  so
       (the RDB occupies the first two cylinders of the disk).

       The  whole stuff about interactive usage of amiga-fdisk in
       this manpage still has to be written.
