e29754402a The dos() function needs a new second argument, containing the size
of the partition. Only if the size is 0 should the
special handling of 0 as first argument be triggered.

[This bug caused offset 0 to give C/H/S = 0/0/0 instead of 0/0/1.]

The init_sector0 function needs to decrease the first argument
to the second call to dos() by one to be consistent with the
calls to dos() in change_part().

[This bug caused fdisk -i to create bogus partition tables with
the ending C/H/S value 1 too high.  This usually gives S = 1
instead of S = maximum, so the geometry guessing in the slice
code and perhaps in SCSI BIOSes was defeated.]

4be1e61baf Code clean up. Prototypes, parentheses around assignments used in
if statements, #if 0 some unused code, use off_t in calls to read/
write_disk, fix a printf format, remove unused variables, and
#include necessary files.

ba3551df6e remove the calls to DIOCWLABEL, as it isn't supported any more
and the error message confuses the user.
(just commented out foe now)

e3038c6ef5 Update to the slices era. Make /dev/rfoo0 the defaults, not
/dev/rfoo0d.

Scan a list of devices instead of insisting on all the world
being wd0.

Allow for disk names to be specified (e.g. `sd0') instead of full
path names only.

Sync the man page with the reality.

c48cef7def Don't write outside of partp[] if the user gives an invalid partition
number for the partition to be made active.  Do nothing instead.  This
allows clearing all the active flags by specifying an invalid partition.

0b461cd7de Don't change the active partition when the user says not to change it.
Convert absolute sector 0 to C/H/S 0/0/0, not 0/0/1.

Open in O_RDWR mode for the undocumented -a option, so that -a can be
used without -u.

b60eb39594 Don't exit early if the device is not character special or if the
device driver cannot supply a label (real or faked).  This allows
you to practice using fdisk on disposable media (e.g., "dd count=1
<dev/zero >/tmp/junk; fdisk /tmp/junk", "dd count=1 </etc/passwd
>/tmp/fix-up-the-mess; fdisk /tmp/fix-up-the-mess") and allows me
to test DOSpartitioning and labelling on floppies.

0ef0620351 The fdisk man page doesn't show correctly the usage possibilities of
fdisk.  It was missing the disk argument.
