PARTCLONE.FSTYPE(8)

🎀 PARTCLONE.FSTYPE — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to partclone.fstype(8), straight out of the Partclone User Manual, section 8. she's a little utility with a big job and honestly? she ate. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

partclone.fstype — the utility to show vmfs type 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

partclone.fstype {FILE}

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one lil argument, no drama. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so partclone.fstype is part of the Partclone project, and her whole thing is retrieving partition head information from image files. like, she looks at the image and tells you what's up. main character energy fr fr 💖

Partclone as a whole provides utilities to back up used blocks, and it's designed for higher compatibility with the file system by using existing library — for example, e2fslibs is used to read the used block of ext2 partition. teamwork makes the dream work, no cap.

the file systems Partclone supports include btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs and jfs for LINUX. she also supports some non-linux operating systems, ex: NTFS, FAT, EXFAT (for Windows), HFS plus (APPLE MAC OS), UFS2 (FreeBSD), VMFS (VMWare Vsphere). iconic range honestly 🌈

and get this — all partclone utils could be run like partclone.xxx, and it's very smiliar to fsck or mkfs. for example, for backup/restore hfsplus, just run partclone.hfsp. so intuitive, so slay ✨
