                      8: .I Disktab
                      9: is a simple date base which describes disk geometries and
                     10: disk partition characteristics.  The format is patterned
                     11: after the
                     12: .IR termcap (5)
                     13: terminal data base.  Entries in 
                     14: .I disktab
                     15: consist of a number of `:' separated fields.  The
                     16: first entry for each disk gives the names which are
                     17: known for the disk, separated by `|' characters.  The
                     18: last name given should be a long name fully identifying
                     19: the disk.
