partitions and removes any that matches the pre-conditions. The
options are the same for the add command and are used to select
the partitions to remove.
Currently the remove command without any options deletes all GPT
partitions. This is rather harmful and will need anti-footshooting
measures.
starts at 1. No index is represented by 0.
o Change the show command to display the partition number at the expense
of the partition end columm. We already display the start and size.
o Enhance the add command to accept the -i option. The -i option allows
the user to specify which partition number the new partition should
get.
o Update the manpage accordingly.
a PMBR. Make sure the create command creates a PMBR as well
(if not already present).
o When parsing the MBR, explicitly check for a PMBR and create
a PMBR map node if one is found.
o When parsing the MBR, recurse to handle extended partitions.
This allows us to flatten nested MBRs when migrating to a
GPT.
o Have the migrate command bail out if it encounters a partition
it doesn't know how to migrate. This avoids data loss.
o Change the output of the show command so that the UUIDs of the
GPT partitions fit on the same line.
o Show when partitions are extended partitions and add the PMBR
type.

o Use DCE compliant UUID functions and provide local
implementations if they don't exist,
o Move dumping of the map to show.c and print the
partition type,
o Some cleanups and rearrangements.
The default GPT partition type is UFS. When no starting block
or size are specified, the tool will create a partition in the
first free space it find (or that fits, depending on the size).
but is useful to have handy. EFI GPT partitions are used instead of the
fdisk+disklabel combination. They are pure 64 bit LBA, are fully
extensible, support up to 16383 partitons per disk, etc.
