11: .SH SYNOPSIS
12: .B #include <disktab.h>
13: .SH DESCRIPTION
14: .I Disktab
15: is a simple database which describes disk geometries and
16: disk partition characteristics.
17: It is used
18: .\"by the formatter(\c
19: .\"IR format (8))
20: .\"to determine how to format the disk, and
21: to initialize the disk label on the disk.
22: The format is patterned
23: after the
24: .IR termcap (5)
25: terminal data base. Entries in
26: .I disktab
27: consist of a number of `:' separated fields. The
28: first entry for each disk gives the names which are
29: known for the disk, separated by `|' characters. The
30: last name given should be a long name fully identifying
31: the disk.
32: .PP
33: The following list indicates the normal values
34: stored for each disk entry.
