Hi Jidanni:
I think you have a point here in that its not explicitly specified that the
print option will list the specified device partition. But the print option
*is* explained and there are examples of the use of print in the info pages.
The only thing that I would consider including is another example of how you
could use the print argument in a non-interactive way.
Care to make a contribution to parted. It would be greatly appreciated :)
Regards.
