What command is used to modify a GUID partition table?

The command used to modify a GUID partition table (GPT) is the "parted" command. This tool is specifically designed for managing disk partitions and has support for both MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT partitioning schemes. One of the key features of "parted" is that it allows users to create, resize, and delete partitions on disks with GUID partition tables, making it versatile for modern systems that utilize larger drives and require the advantages that GPT offers, such as support for disks larger than 2TB and more than four primary partitions.

In addition, "parted" enables users to perform more advanced partitioning tasks that may not be as straightforward with other tools. While "gparted" is a graphical front-end for managing partitions, it relies on "parted" for its functionality in the background. However, "parted" can be more efficient in command-line environments, especially on servers or headless systems.

Using "fdisk" is inappropriate for modifying GPT directly, as it is traditionally intended for managing MBR partition tables. While "mkfs" is used to create filesystem types on partitions, it does not modify partition tables. Therefore, the characteristics and capabilities of "parted" make it the
