💖 vsgptinfo — GPT gossip generator 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the vsgptinfo page from the LOCAL manual section 🎀 this little icon tells you everything about a GUID Partition Table (GPT) volume system and honestly? it's giving detective energy 🔍✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vsgptinfo [-hvV] source

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so vsgptinfo is a utility that determines information about a GUID Partition Table (GPT) volume system. like, it just looks at your disk and spills the tea on what's in there 💅

it's part of the libvsgpt package, which is a library for accessing the GUID Partition Table (GPT) volume system format. iconic library, no cap 🫶

source is the source file. that's the thing you're pointing it at, bestie.

the options are as follows:

• -h — shows this help. a little "hey here's what I do" moment 💖
• -v — verbose output to stderr. it gets chatty, and it tells you everything 🗣️
• -V — print version. it tells you its age, very main character of it ✨

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

None. literally nothing. it doesn't read a single env var. lowkey refreshing ngl 🌈

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

None. no config files, no dotfiles, no nothing. it's a free spirit 🧚

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

here's the vibe in action:

# vsgptinfo /dev/sda
vsgptinfo 20200706

GUID Partition Table (GPT) information:
        Bytes per sector        : 512
        Number of partitions    : 4

Partition: 1
        Type                    : 0x00 (Empty)
        Offset                  : 1048576 (0x00100000)
        Size                    : 65024

Partition: 2
        Type                    : 0x00 (Empty)
        Offset                  : 2097152 (0x00200000)
        Size                    : 65024

Partition: 3
        Type                    : 0x00 (Empty)
        Offset                  : 3145728 (0x00300000)
        Size                    : 65024

Partition: 4
        Type                    : 0x00 (Empty)
        Offset                  : 17408 (0x00004400)
        Size                    : 65024

four partitions, all 0x00 (Empty), and it's just reporting them with full honesty. slay 💛

😭 DIAGNOSTICS 😭

errors, verbose output and debug output all get printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. but heads up: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you built it without that, no amount of -v will make it yap. it's not ignoring you, it's just built different 💀
