NAME
       partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk par‐
       titions.

SYNOPSIS
       partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk

DESCRIPTION
       Given a block device ( disk ) and a partition table type , try to parse
       the  partition  table,  and list the contents. Optionally add or remove
       partitions.

       This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not  a	change
       of  the	disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering
       of on-disk partitions.

OPTIONS
       -a     add specified partitions or read disk and add all partitions

       -d     delete specified or all partitions

       -l     list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte  sec‐
	      tors.

       --type TYPE
	      Specify  the  partition  type  -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or
	      gpt.

       --nr M-N
	      Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).
