  NAME

    diskpar - Disk partition header format

  DESCRIPTION

    All Intergraph disks are divided into sections called partitions.  Each
    disk partition is preceded by a single-block diskpar header which provides
    information about the partition.  The partition number, the modifier
    number, the partition size in blocks, and the disk partition magic number
    are contained in the diskpar header.  The organization of the diskpar
    header is listed below:

    Byte Offset   Description

    0             partition number

    1             modifier number

    2-5           size in blocks

    6-9           magic number

    The partition size and the magic number are 32-bit unsigned integer values
    with the least significant byte of each value corresponding to the least
    significant byte of its header location.

    The disk partition magic number is 0x454e4153.
