* @title: Partitions probing
* @short_description: partitions tables detection and parsing
*
* This chain supports binary and NAME=value interfaces, but complete PT
* description is provided by binary interface only.
*
* NAME=value interface, supported tags:
*
* @PTTYPE: partition table type (dos, gpt, etc.).
*
* Example:
*
* <informalexample>
* <programlisting>
* blkid_probe pr;
* const char *ptname;
*
* pr = blkid_new_probe_from_filename(devname);
* if (!pr)
* err("%s: faild to open device", devname);
*
* blkid_probe_enable_partitions(pr, TRUE);
* blkid_do_fullprobe(pr);
*
* blkid_probe_lookup_value(pr, "PTTYPE", &ptname, NULL);
* printf("%s partition type detected\n", pttype);
*
* blkid_free_probe(pr);
*
* // don't forget to check return codes in your code!
* </programlisting>
* </informalexample>
*
* Binary interface:
*
* <informalexample>
* <programlisting>
* blkid_probe pr;
* blkid_partlist ls;
* int nparts, i;
*
* pr = blkid_new_probe_from_filename(devname);
* if (!pr)
* err("%s: faild to open device", devname);
*
* ls = blkid_probe_get_partitions(pr);
* nparts = blkid_partlist_numof_partitions(ls);
*
* for (i = 0; i < nparts; i++) {
* blkid_partition par = blkid_partlist_get_partition(ls, i);
* printf("#%d: %llu %llu 0x%x",
* blkid_partition_get_partno(par),
* blkid_partition_get_start(par),
