If given no arguments, the output will be a single line per specified device
|
|
|
|
|
with the following fields: device name, sectorsize, media size in bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
media size in sectors, firmware cylinders, firmware heads, and firmware sectors.
|
2003-04-09 10:52:10 +00:00

The last three fields are only present if the information is available.
