pt_tbl(9s)
NAME
  pt_tbl - Disk: Stores a disk partition map

SYNOPSIS
       struct pt_tbl {
	       struct partition d_partitions[MAXPARTITIONS];
       };

MEMBERS
  d_partitions
      Specifies an array of partition structures, up to the maximum number of
      partitions allowed on the disk. The partition structure is defined by
      the disklabel structure. It contains the block size and offset of the
      partition, plus file system information.

DESCRIPTION
  The pt_tbl structure contains a disk's partition map, which describes the
  partitions on the disk. The disk driver's open interface and the DIOCGDEFPT
  ioctl command use the pt_tbl structure to hold the disk's default partition
  map created by those interfaces. The disk driver's DIOCGCURPT and
  DIOCGDEFPT ioctl commands use the pt_tbl structure to return the current
  and default partition maps.
