partsize(1M)                                            partsize(1M)


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

       SYNOPSIS
             partsize [-ds] 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 = 2E20 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 (for example, /dev/rdsk/0s0 or
                         /dev/rdsk/c0b0t0d0s0).

          Options
             partsize takes the following options:

             -d    Displays the disk geometry and the configuration layout
                   of the four optional disk partitions.  Disk partitions
                   are initialized using the fdisk(1M) command.  Unused
                   partition entries contain the value 100 in the OS field.

             -s    Displays the size of the entire disk in megabytes.  The
                   value can be greater than the size of the UNIX System
                   partition if multiple partitions were allocated.
