Mostly merge changes from HEAD upto 20200411

Sort and unify a bit. Add more macros.

Add options to define labelsector and -offset and number of slices.
Make options to chose alternate label position for systems using MBR
more intuitive. -m now selects mode with MBR, -n selects mode without,
independent of the machine defaults.

Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.

Remove ignored Pp macro, highlighted by mandoc -Tlint.

Document the version disklabel first appeared.
Fix spelling mistakes.
Replace contraction.
Bump date.

Add missing doc flags (B,M,m)

Sort sections. Remove comma in enumeration of two items.

mention that we don't handle more than 2TB disks/partitions.

Shuffle the order of examples to put the interactive option (-i) ahead
of $EDITOR and "disklabel -w -r /dev/rsd0c sd2212 foo"

As pointed out by James Wetterau, we wish to complement, as in the
logical operation, rather than compliment, as in praise, the magic
number of the disk.

There are probably other instances of this in the tree. We should fix
them.

Add a '-l' flag and a 'L' command to interactive mode to list all known
file system types.  (Similar to what fdisk does for partition types.)

Closes PR bin/12954.

Use more markup, fix xref, serial comma, other misc. fixes.

Update/rewrite to match reality and in a muchmore succinct format.

Quote Fr so options are sorted properly.

Rip out the support for writing bootstrap code.  installboot(8) contains
support for hp300, hp700 and vax, $MACHINE is never arm32.
Fix usage output to only contain progname() once - bug introduced in rev 1.89

Rip out the references to the installation of more than one bootstrap file.
Only arm32 needs the -B stuff at all, all other ports use installboot(8).

Bump date for last.  Put the exit EXIT STATUS section in the right place.
New sentence, new line.  Correct two typos.

Make it possible to distinguish between exit values that indicate errors,
and those that are warnings.  Document the exit statuses in the man page.

Single-letter options do not need a line each; add more
commas; drop trailing whitespace; use Pa where appropriate.

Add flag -F to disklabel. Flag -F indicates that the target of the
disklabel operation is a file, not a disk. With -t disktab and -T
disktype, the user may tell disklabel the "geometry" for the file.

Add Xref to mscdlabel, bump date.

Bring back disklabel -B for now, since hp300 installboot isn't ready
for prime time yet.

Rip out all the '-B bootblock' support, everything should use installboot(8).
(can only affect arm32, hp300 and vax ports, and doesn't affect sysinst).

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22308, verified by myself.

xref dkctl(8)

Bump date for last.

Document -I option.  From Richard Rauch <rauch@math.rice.edu>
in PR#11890.

.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.

Removed "disklabel -I [-r] [-C] disk" from SYNOPSIS.

The code does not permit usage of the -I flag without either -e or -i.

mdoc nits. New sentence, new line. Remove a comment about tahoe.

Fix an argument to -width option of .Bl macro.

Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.

The sun2 also requires partitions in integer cylinders.

Note in far more places that -B is only supported on some platforms.

Simplify markup in one place, and sort sections and SEE ALSO.

Drop arguments of .Os.

Pull up revision 1.34 (requested by lukem):
  Several fixes and enhancements:
  o with ``-I'', initialize the label if it's not there, it's
    corrupt, or there's no ``fake'' label.
  o correct partition table header
  o move some functions into a separate file for other programs
    to use
  o fix examples and cross references
  o various cleanups

xref (disklabel.8, fdisk.8, mbrlabel.8) as appropriate

Pullup 1.30-1.33 [christos]:
typo and new doc for -I usage

allow -I -i to install a new label interactively.

Pullup rev 1.32, approved by thorpej:
  "boostrap" => "bootstrap"

"boostrap" => "bootstrap"

Pull up into 1.5, approved by thorpej:
Documenting where to use disklabel -I

disklabel.8: 	1.30 -> 1.31
disklabel.c:	1.85 -> 1.86

'disklabel -i' on a disk without a label recommends to use -I. Document
that in the usage.

Sync w/ netbsd-1-5-base.

Add a -I flag which, combined with -e, gives the user the opportunity
to edit and create a new label on a virgin disk.

s/comprised/composed/, per PR 9586 by Seebs <seebs@ged.plethora.net>

mention that hpcmips and arc use `d' as RAW_PART.

pullup 1.26->1.27 (cgd): Kill bogus comments about -r

kill some bogus comments about -r: it _does not_ cause the boot area to
be clobbered.  since 4.4-Lite(?) disklabel.c has gone to extra effort
to avoid clobbering the boot area when using -r, but the 4.4-Lite manual
pages were apparently not updated to note that!

Update for sparc64.

Clean up SYNOPSIS formatting.

Add '-f disktab' option to disklabel, via lib/6623 from
Greg A. Woods <woods@most.weird.com>. (Very) slightly tweaked disklabel.8

Clarify the documentation of the "-B" option, inspired by PR#5262.
Contrary to the PR, the "-B" option does work, but not on all platforms.

Add missing -C flag in SYNOPSIS

Fix typo; the flag for interactive disklabel creation is not -e but -i.
Also, make the description of -C flag into separate paragraph.

additional sun3/sparc warning about the "-r" option.

add a warning about sun3 and sparc systems requiring partitions in integer cylinders or the boot ROMs get upset, per PR#3267. Is that it?

- Use .Nm "" instead of .Nm disklabel in SYNOPSIS.
- Do a trick to remove whitespace before close paren from generated output.
- Delete space at the end of line.

all but the first .Nm in SYNOPSIS need to be spelt out. [bin/4256]

- cleanup use of .Nm
- xref installboot(8)
- deprecate register

s/except/accept/, from John F. Woods in PR bin/3802

Fix broken uses of Dd.  Both the mdoc and mdoc.samples pages agree:
.Dd is supposed to be invoked like:
	.Dd month day, year
e.g. ".Dd January 25, 1989", rather than:
	.Dd "month day, year"
which is what these pages did.

Add -i (interactive mode to create/edit labels) inspired by the SunOS/Solaris
format/partition command.

PR/1551: clarify usage in manual page
PR/2452: add -t option to print label in disktab(5) format.
Misc cleanups...

Allow display and editing of partition size & offset fields in
<cyl/track/sector> format. This format is always excepted on input
(`-e' and `-R'); to display it use `-C'.

PR487. From John Kohl. (more examples and some corrections)

convert to new RCS Id conventions; reduce my headache

Import original 4.4-Lite version.

Finish 4.4-Lite merge, and convert to use err(3)/warn(3) functions.

disklabel(8) from 4.4 merged with our old disklabel(8) by John Brezak
(brezak@apollo.hp.com).  hp300's can now disklabel by themselves.

Fix spelling errors

Update to -mandoc macros

Add RCS indentifiers.

changed "Id" to "Header" for rcsids

added rcs ids to all files

initial import of 386bsd-0.1 sources
