cgpt - Utility to manipulate GPT partitions with Chromium OS extensions

       This  manual  page  was written by Karl Lenz <xorangekiller@gmail.com> for the Debian project (but may be
       used by others).

       Each action performed by this program - with the notable exception of the -hOPTION - is initiated  by  a
       command which tells cgpt the type of operation to perform. All available commands are described below.

       create Create or reset GPT headers and tables.

       add    Add, edit, or remove a partition entry.

       show   Show the partition table and entries.

       repair Repair damaged GPT headers and tables.

       boot   Edit the PMBR sector for legacy BIOSes.

              If no BOOTOPTIONS are specified, this command will just print the PMBR boot GUID.

       find   Find a partition by its GUID.

              If no DRIVE is specified, this command will scan all physical drives for a match.

       prioritize
              Reorder the priority of all ChromeOS kernel partitions.

              If  no  options  are specified, this command will set the lowest active kernel to priority 1 while
              maintaining the original order.

       legacy Switch between GPT and Legacy GPT.

       Cgpt  is  a  tool  to  manipulate  a  GUID  Partition Table from the command line. Although several other
       utilities exist for the same basic purpose - some with more features and a captive user interface -  cgpt
       is  unique  in  that  it also supports Chromium OS extensions. These extensions are not generally useful;
       they are specific to the u-boot firmware found on some Chromebooks. They may be used to  change  priority
       for  kernel  partitions  and  give  other  hints  to u-boot Chromebook firmware. Use this utility only to
       manipulate a partition table for compatible Chromebooks.

       The following examples demonstrate valid syntax only. It is up to you to  interpret  them  based  on  the
       documentation in this manual.

       cgptshow /dev/mmcblk0
       cgptcreate /dev/mmcblk0
       cgptadd-i 2 -S 1 -T 15 -P 15 /dev/mmcblk0
       cgptadd-i 1 -t data -l "STATE" /dev/mmcblk0
       cgptadd-i 2 -t kernel -l "KERN-A" /dev/mmcblk0
       cgptadd-i 3 -t rootfs -l "ROOT-A" /dev/mmcblk0

       The options described in this section apply to every COMMAND supported by this program.
