Linux partition editor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
sfdisk is a Linux partition editor. In contrast to fdisk and cfdisk, sfdisk is not interactive.[1] All three programs are written in C and are part of the util-linux package of Linux utility programs.

Since sfdisk is command-driven instead of menu-driven, i.e., it reads input from standard input or from a file, it is generally used for partitioning drives from scripts or used by programs, like e.g. GParted.
The current sfdisk implementation uses the libfdisk library.[2] sfdisk supports MBR (DOS), GPT, SUN and SGI disk labels, but it no longer provides any functionality for CHS (Cylinder-Head-Sector) addressing since version 2.26.[3]
