Field Documentation

const PedFileSystemType* _PedPartition::fs_type

The type of file system on the partition. NULL if unknown.

int _PedPartition::num

the partition number: In Linux, this is the same as the minor number. No assumption should be made about "num" and "type" different disk labels have different rules.

PedPartition* _PedPartition::part_list

Only used for an extended partition. The list of logical partitions (and free space and metadata within the extended partition).

PedPartitionType _PedPartition::type

the type of partition: a bit field of PED_PARTITION_LOGICAL, PED_PARTITION_EXTENDED, PED_PARTITION_METADATA and PED_PARTITION_FREESPACE. Both the first two, and the last two are mutually exclusive. An extended partition is a primary partition that may contain logical partitions. There is at most one extended partition on a disk. A logical partition is like a primary partition, except it's inside an extended partition. Internally, pseudo partitions are allocated to represent free space, or disk label meta-data. These have the PED_PARTITION_FREESPACE or PED_PARTITION_METADATA bit set.
