PRTVTOC(8)  —  UNIX Programmer’s Manual

NAME

prtvtoc − print the VTOC of a block device

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/prtvtoc [ −s ] [ −h ] [ −T ] [ −t fstab ] [ −m mtab ] device

DESCRIPTION

prtvtoc allows the contents of the VTOC (volume table of contents) to be viewed by a user for reference or verification.  In addition to printing the contents of the VTOC, the command lists any free areas on the disk (that is, those without a partition). 

The device on which the VTOC is installed is specified as the unpartitioned version of the device, i.e, /dev/rzd0 or /dev/rsd1. 

OPTIONS

−s Print only the partition table, with headings but without the comments.  This option also inhibits the printing of all V_NOPART partitions. 

−h Print only the partition table, without headings and comments.  Use this option when the output of the prtvtoc command is piped into another command. 

−T Print only the disk type name.  Use this option to discover what the disk type is. 

−tfstab Use the file fstab instead of /etc/fstab. 

−mmtab Use the file mtab instead of /etc/mtab.
