/**
 * SECTION: part
 * @short_description: plugin for operations with partition tables
 * @title: Part
 * @include: part.h
 *
 * A plugin for operations with partition tables. Currently supported table
 * (disk label) types are MBR and GPT. See the functions below to get an
 * overview of which operations are supported. If there's anything missing,
 * please don't hesitate to report it as this plugin (just like all the others)
 * is subject to future development and enhancements.
 *
 * This particular implementation of the part plugin uses libparted for
 * manipulations of both the MBR and GPT disk label types together with the
 * sgdisk utility for some extra GPT-specific features libparted doesn't
 * support. In the future, there's likely to be another implementation of this
 * plugin based on libfdisk which provides full support for both MBR and GPT
 * tables (and possibly some others).
