OPTIONS -i Prints the following device information:
o Device name
o Software version (not supported and prints as 0)
o Drive id number (not supported and prints as 0)
o Device blocks per cylinder
o Device bytes per block
o Number of device partitions with a block size greater than zero
-p Prints the following device partition information:
o Device name
o Device major and minor numbers (in hexadecimal)
o Partition start block
o Number of blocks allocated to the partition
o Partition flag
o Partition tag
This command is used by various other commands to obtain device specific information for the making of file systems and determining parti-
