p The following options are supported: l -tag -width device -compact t Fl n No execution - list the wedges, but do not create them. t Fl v Be more verbose - print additional information. .El The argument .Ar device specifices the disk on which the disklabel is scanned and to which the wedges are added. .Sh EXAMPLES .Dl Nm Fl v Ar wd1 Create wedges from all recognized partitions on wd1 .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr dk 4 , .Xr disklabel 5 , .Xr dkctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Nx 5.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit .An Martin Huseman wrote the .Nm utility. It is reusing a lot of kernel code written by .An Jason R. Thorpe .
