NAME
prtvtoc - report information about a disk geometry and partitioning SYNOPSIS
prtvtoc [-fhs] [-t vfstab] [-m mnttab] device DESCRIPTION
The prtvtoc command allows the contents of the label to be viewed. The command can be used only by the super-user. The device name can be the file name of a raw device in the form of /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2 or can be the file name of a block device in the form of /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s2. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Report on the disk free space, including the starting block address of the free space, number of blocks, and unused parti- tions. -h Omit the headers from the normal output. -m mnttab Use mnttab as the list of mounted filesystems, in place of /etc/mnttab. -s Omit all headers but the column header from the normal output. -t vfstab Use vfstab as the list of filesystem defaults, in place of /etc/vfstab.
