>Description:

The man page for gpart(8) contains a small section describing options
applicable to the "show" command.  Unfortuantely, the man page utterly
fails to document or describe the meaning and/or proper interpretation
of any of the four columns of output that are generated by the "gpart show"
command.  This is a serious ommission.

>How-To-Repeat:

man gpart

>Fix:

Somebody needs to document what each of the four columns of "gpart show"
output are actually telling the user.
