CGPT(1)			System Administration Commands		       CGPT(1)

NAME
       cgpt - Utility to manipulate GPT partitions with Chromium OS extensions

SYNOPSIS
       cgpt COMMAND [OPTIONS] DRIVE

DESCRIPTION
       Cgpt  is	 a  tool to manipulate a GUID Partition Table from the command
       line. Although several other utilities exist for the same basic purpose
       - some with more features and a captive user interface - cgpt is unique
       in that it also supports Chromium OS extensions. These  extensions  are
       not generally useful; they are specific to the u-boot firmware found on
       some Chromebooks. They may be used to change priority for kernel parti‐
       tions  and  give	 other	hints  to u-boot Chromebook firmware. Use this
       utility only to manipulate a partition  table  for  compatible  Chrome‐
       books.

COMMANDS
       Each  action  performed by this program - with the notable exception of
       the -h OPTION - is initiated by a command which tells cgpt the type  of
       operation to perform. All available commands are described below.

       create Create or reset GPT headers and tables.

       add    Add, edit, or remove a partition entry.

       show   Show the partition table and entries.

       repair Repair damaged GPT headers and tables.

       boot   Edit the PMBR sector for legacy BIOSes.

	      If  no  BOOT OPTIONS are specified, this command will just print
	      the PMBR boot GUID.

       find   Find a partition by its GUID.

	      If no DRIVE is specified, this command will  scan	 all  physical
	      drives for a match.

       prioritize
	      Reorder the priority of all ChromeOS kernel partitions.

	      If  no  options  are specified, this command will set the lowest
	      active kernel to	priority  1  while  maintaining	 the  original
	      order.

       legacy Switch between GPT and Legacy GPT.

GENERAL OPTIONS
       The  options described in this section apply to every COMMAND supported
       by this program.

       -h     For more detailed usage, use cgpt COMMAND -h
