dsl 65151c95f1 Rototil the way disklabel -r reads and writes labels.
In particular the 'read' part plays 'hunt the disklabel' in order to get a
label into a local buffer - from where it can be displayed/edited.
The 'write' part makes a separate scan of the disk looking for places to
write the label.
The main changes are:
- It can no longer write the first 8k of the mbr to the pbr (or v.v.)
- All labels on the disk (that it can find) get updated during a write
- With -A all the labels are displayed (inc. those deleted by -D)
- Addition of -D which will delete (by one's complimenting dk_magic{2}) and
  existing labels before writing labels to the expected locations.
- -v gives some verbose output to stderr, -vv more etc
A better basis for processing incorrect endian labels, or labels from other
architectures.

reinoud 994f1fb3f6 Remove `const' attribute from writelabel prototype and function to make it
compile again on Alpha.

christos 7956951247 - KNF printlabel.c
- add a function to print only one partition's info.
- print the partition information if it was modified in interactive mode.
- improve on the chaining code. [still assumes that partition offsets increase
  monotonically]. We could check for overlap too.

lukem 1c5cb88e30 move showinfo() and showpartition() into separate file, for use by
other programs.  slightly change argument signature so that globals
aren't depended upon.

lukem 35ccd2239b - convert to KNF ANSI style guide
- reorder arguments of runcmd(), getnum(), defnum() to be consistent
  with other functions (pass struct disklabel * first)

mrg 5f534fca77 allow changing partition info from inside the interactive handler. 1999-11-26 06:03:09 +00:00
christos 563aff8153 Add a 'chain' command in interactive mode that allows you to vary the
size of the partitions, while the starting point gets adjusted automagically.
This chaining works for partitions that are not 'unused'.

christos 72fbacb380 Add -i (interactive mode to create/edit labels) inspired by the SunOS/Solaris
format/partition command.
