.Nd disk description file
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <disktab.h>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a simple database which describes disk geometries and
disk partition characteristics.
It is used
.\"by the formatter(\c
.\"IR.Xr format 8 )
.\"to determine how to format the disk, and
to initialize the disk label on the disk.
The format is patterned
after the
.Xr termcap 5
terminal database. Entries in
.Nm
consist of a number of colon
.Pq Sq \&:
separated fields. The
first entry for each disk gives the names which are
known for the disk, separated by
.Dq \&|
characters. The
last name given should be a long name fully identifying
the disk.
.Pp
The following list indicates the normal values
stored for each disk entry:
.Bl -column "indent" "boolx"
.It Sy Name Type Description
