NAME
  DIOCGPART - Disk: Returns information about a single disk partition

SYNOPSIS
  #include <io/common/devio.h>
  #include <sys/ioctl.h>


  int ioctl(
	  dev_t dev,
	  register int DIOCGPART,
	  caddr_t data,
	  int flag );

DESCRIPTION
  The DIOCGPART ioctl command returns information about a device and
  partition. This information is returned in a partinfo structure, which
  contains pointers to the disklabel and partition structures for a single
  partition on a disk. If the disk does not have a disk label, the DIOCGPART
  ioctl command returns EINVAL.

EXAMPLE
  See Writing Device Drivers: Advanced Topics for an example of how a disk
  device driver implements the DIOCGPART command.
