.SH DESCRIPTION
.B atari-fdisk
is an editor for Atari partition tables. It has an interactive menu
for most actions. It operates on the disk associated with \fIdevice\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-f
Force operation on disks from which partitions seem to be mounted.
(This is generally no good idea!)
.TP
.B \-l
List partition tables of all disks. If this flag is given, interactive
mode isn't entered.
.TP
.B \-r
Open the disk device in read-only mode. You can view the partition
table then, but cannot write back a modified table to disk.
.TP
.B \-s
Only print the size (in blocks) of the partition \fIdevice\fR. Note
that \fIdevice\fR should be a single partition device (e.g.
/dev/sda1), not a whole-disk device (e.g. /dev/sda), for this.
.TP
.B \-v
Show version of the program.
.TP
.B \-x
Enter expert mode immediately. Expert mode can also be switched on by
a menu item.
.TP
.B \-O \fIfile\fR
Save the partition tables of \fIdevice\fR to a file \fIfile\fR. This
file can later be used to restore all the partition information with
the -I option.
.TP
.B \-I \fIfile\fR
Read a partition table from \fIfile\fR (that has been created with -O)
and write it back to disk.
