The record

Purpose: GPT fdisk is a set of text-mode tools for creating and manipulating partition tables.
Included tools: The package consists of gdisk, cgdisk, sgdisk, and FixParts.
GPT support: gdisk, cgdisk, and sgdisk work with GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks.
MBR repair: FixParts repairs certain types of MBR disk damage and can change partition types between primary and logical.
Conversion: gdisk can convert an MBR partition table or BSD disklabel to GPT format.
Verification: gdisk’s verify command checks for problems such as incorrect CRCs and mismatched main and backup data, but does not automatically correct most problems.
Backup and recovery: The tools provide options to back up partition data and access GPT data recovery functions.
Interfaces: gdisk is interactive and text-mode, sgdisk is a command-line tool suited to scripts, and cgdisk is curses-based and interactive.
Platforms: The project describes GPT fdisk as available for Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows.
Downloads: The download page lists Linux RPM and Debian packages, Windows and macOS binaries, and source files; it says the EFI binary is available only through version 1.0.4.
Distribution packages: GPT fdisk is included in most major Linux distributions’ standard package repositories, though some distributions may provide outdated versions.
macOS limitation: The project says System Integrity Protection in macOS 10.11 and later blocks low-level access needed to repartition the system disk, while USB flash drives remain accessible.
FreeBSD limitation: The FreeBSD version normally cannot save partition-table changes when a partition on the disk is mounted.
Support contact: The download page invites users to email Rod Smith with problems or comments about that page at [email protected].
