This is difference between (c)fdisk and GNU Parted, fdisks keep all
changes in memory until user explicitly ask for write operation.

There is value in ensuring that manual page sections use consistently
named sections, as far as possible, and also that sections have a
consistent order within manual pages. This is one of a series of patches
to place manual page sections in a consistent order.
In this patch, we ensure that the AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT, SEE ALSO, and
AVAILABILITY sections are always placed at the end of the page.
Testing that no gross editing mistake (causing accidental loss or addition
of text) was performed as follows:
$ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > a
[Apply patch]
$ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > b
$ diff a b
$ echo $?

There is quite some value (in terms of readability and user
expectations) if consistent names are used for the sections
within manual pages. This patch is one of a series to bring
about this consistency.
In the Linux man-pages project, I long ago did away with the
AUTHOR(S) section, but I realize some projects like to keep this.
But, let's make sure that the section is consistently titled
across pages. Currently we have AUTHOR (47) or AUTHORS (41).
Let's standardize on the latter (which is also what is
suggested in man-pages(7)).

Using double quotes in .SH lines containing multiple words is unneeded,
and in any case is not consistently done in the util-linux manual pages,
where double quotes are used in only around half of the cases.
(This usage was long ago elminated in the man-pages project, with
no ill effects reported to date.)
Remove these quotes, so that .SH lines are more uniform, in preparation
for some (more easily) scripted doiscovery of consistency problems in
(and possibly global fixes to) the manual pages.
Other than stripping the double quotes, this patch makes no changes to
the content of the manual pages.

Add a comma (,) after "e.g." and "i.e.", or use English words
(man-pages(7) [package "manpages"]).
Abbreviation points should be protected (usually with the
non-printing, zero width character '\&') from being interpreted as an
end of sentence, if they are not, and that independent of their current
place on the line.
This is important when typing, as one does not usually know in
advance when the editor jumps to a new line.

Sorry detail-oriented people tend to wipe these out if they notice them.
Add in automated tools and lots of excess end-of-line spaces get wiped
out.

In the majority of pages, pathnames are formatted as Italic,
which is the norm. However, there are several cases where they
are formatted as bold. This patch fixes a number of those
exceptions.

This patch does only the following:
* Order SEE ALSO entries first by section name, then alphabetically
within section
* Adds one or two missing commas in SEE ALSO lists
* Removes one or two periods that were (inconsistently) used
at the end of SEE ALSO lists.

This env.variable forces libsmartcols to use visible padding chars.
The standard debug has to be enabled (to minimize overhead for
non-debug execution).
For example:
$ LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG=all LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG_PADDING=on findmnt 2> ~/log

The new 'extra' info provides:
* filesystem information from libblkid (TYPE, UUID, LABEL)
This feature is based on libblkid ability to probe specified area
on the device. It allows to probe for filesystems although the
partition devices (e.g. /dev/sda2) does not exist. For example from
disk image:
# cfdisk /home/archive/fs-images/disk.img
* additional information from libfdisk (partition UUID, Name, ...)
* mount information from libmount (from fstab or mountinfo)

As per the convention shown in Documentation/howto-man-page.txt.
Also make a few other tiny adjustments along the way.

This functionality will be rarely used, so it does not make sense to
waste screen space with this menu item. It's enough to provide this
functionality in "Select label type" dialog (cfdisk --zero and then
'L' command).
