What command is used to view the GUID partition table in Linux?

The command "gdisk" is specifically designed for managing GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks. It allows users to create, delete, and modify partitions on disks that use the GPT format. Unlike the traditional MBR (Master Boot Record) approach, GPT supports larger disk sizes and a greater number of partitions, which makes it suitable for modern systems.

Using "gdisk", you can easily view the partition structure of a disk by employing commands that provide detailed information about the GPT. For instance, executing "gdisk /dev/sdX" (where "X" represents the specific disk identifier) will allow you to view and manage the GUID partition table along with the available partitions listed on that disk.

Other commands like "fdisk" and "parted" can also deal with disk partitions, but they may not focus exclusively on GPT or offer the same level of control and information for it as "gdisk" does. While "lsblk" is useful for displaying block device information, it does not specifically provide detailed insights into the GUID partition table itself. Thus, "gdisk" is the most appropriate and dedicated tool for viewing and managing GPT in Linux environments.
