longDescription = ''
GNU Parted is an industrial-strength package for creating, destroying,
resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on
them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems,
reorganising disk usage, copying data on hard disks and disk imaging.
It contains a library, libparted, and a command-line frontend, parted,
which also serves as a sample implementation and script backend.
