DIOCGDEFPT(9r)

NAME

DIOCGDEFPT - Disk: Returns the default partition map for a disk

SYNOPSIS

#include <io/common/devio.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> int ioctl( dev_t dev, register int DIOCGDEFPT, caddr_t data, int flag );

DESCRIPTION

The DIOCGDEFPT ioctl command returns a disk's default partition map to the user data buffer. This information is returned in a pt_tbl structure, which contains an array of partition structures, up to the maximum number of partitions allowed on the device. The DIOCGDEFPT ioctl command can return the partition map regardless of whether a valid disklabel exists on the disk.
