partsize(1M)              UNIX System V(Base System)               partsize(1M)


NAME
      partsize - returns the size of the active UNIX System partition

SYNOPSIS
      partsize raw-device

DESCRIPTION
      The function of partsize is to print the size of the active UNIX System
      partition for the raw-device disk drive.  The size value returned is in
      megabytes (MB = 2^20 bytes).  This command is intended for use with the
      installation scripts, but is available for general use.  If the system
      cannot retrieve a valid partition table, there will be a non-zero exit
      value.  If a valid partition table is found, but no active UNIX system
      partition is found, it will display a value of zero.

      raw-device  the required raw-device argument is the character special
                  device for the disk drive to be accessed.  It should be the
                  slice 0 device to represent the entire device (e.g.,
                  /dev/rdsk/0s0 or /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0).
