This option doesn't passed to kernel and handled in user-space.
With -F option gpart creates new "delete" request for each
partition in table. Each request has flags="X" that disables
auto-commit feature. Last request is the original "destroy" request.
It has own flags and can have disabled or enabled auto-commit feature.
If error is occurred when deleting partitions, then new "undo" request
is created and all changes will be rolled back.

Move code that converts params from humanized numbers to sectors count
to subr.c and adjust comment.
Add post-processing for "size" and "start offset" params in gpart,
now they are properly converted to sectors count with known sector size
that can be greater that 512 bytes.
Also replace "unsigned long long" type to "off_t" for unify code since
it used for medium size in libgeom(3) and DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl.

- Add information regarding VTOC8 bootrstrap code and how it's handled with
r208777 in place.
- Document the mapping of partition types to VTOC8 tags.
- Add examples for VTOC8 to the respective section.
- Eliminated hard sentence breaks.

- Add special handling required for SMI/VTOC8 disklabel partcode, i.e. avoid
overwriting the label when writing the bootstrap code to the partition
starting at 0 and install it to all partitions when the -i option is omitted
just like geom_sunlabel(4) and sunlabel(8) do by default.
- Add missing prototypes.
- Add const where applicable.

Note that with this commit a megabyte changed from 1000000 to
1048576 and a 80G disk is now printed as being 75G in size.
This is deliberate. It's consistent with the core of geom(8).
However, the original choice for a megabyte being 1000000 was
on purpose and matches what disk vendors put on the box. The
consistency is considered more important.

geom can more easily be part of other crunched binaries, as it requires
only a Makefile change.
In order to support gpart(8), geom(8) needs to support a named

Both have been added to the infrastructure. The former required
all existing classes to be adjusted.
