+ * @defgroup rtems_bdpart Block Device Partition Management
+ *
+ * @ingroup rtems_libblock
+ *
+ * @brief This module provides functions to manage partitions of a disk device.
+ *
+ * A @ref rtems_disk "disk" is a set of blocks which are identified by a
+ * consecutive set of non-negative integers starting at zero. There are also
+ * logical disks which contain a subset of consecutive disk blocks. The
+ * logical disks are used to represent the partitions of a disk. The disk
+ * devices are accessed via the @ref rtems_disk "block device buffer module".
+ *
+ * The partition format on the physical disk will be converted to an internal
+ * representation. It is possible to convert the internal representation into
+ * a specific output format and write it to the physical disk. One of the
+ * constrains for the internal representation was to support the GPT format
+ * easily.
+ *
+ * Currently two physical partition formats are supported. These are the MBR
+ * and the GPT format. Please note that the GPT support is not implemented.
+ * With MBR format we mean the partition format of the wide spread IBM
+ * PC-compatible systems. The GPT format is defined in the Extensible Firmware
+ * Interface (EFI).
+ *
+ * The most common task will be to read the partition information of a disk and
+ * register logical disks for each partition. This can be done with the
+ * rtems_bdpart_register_from_disk() function. Afterwards you can
+ * @ref rtems_fsmount "mount" the file systems within the partitions.
+ *
+ * You can read the partition information from a disk with rtems_bdpart_read()
+ * and write it to the disk with rtems_bdpart_write().
+ *
+ * To create a partition table from scratch for a disk use
+ * rtems_bdpart_create().
+ *
+ * You can access some disk functions with the shell command @c fdisk.
