-      GNU Parted is an industrial-strength 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,
-      reorganising disk usage, copying data on 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.
