Description
===========
GNU Parted is a package for creating, destroying, resizing, checking,
and copying partitions and the file systems on them. This is useful
for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage,
copying data between hard disks, and disk imaging. It contains a
library, libparted, and a command-line frontend, parted, which also
serves as a sample implementation and script backend.

Graphical frontends include GParted (using the Gtk+ toolkit) and
QtParted (using the Trolltech Qt toolkit). A frontend to Linux fdisk and
cfdisk is currently being worked on.
