1.1 Overview of GNU Parted
GNU Parted is a program for creating and manipulating partition tables.
This documentation is written with the assumption that the readerhas some understanding of partitioning and file systems.
GNU Parted was designed to minimize the chance of data loss. Forexample, it was designed to avoid data loss during interruptions (likepower failure) and performs many safety checks. However, there couldbe bugs in GNU Parted, so you should back up your important files beforerunning Parted.
The GNU Parted homepage is http://www.gnu.org/software/parted. Thelibrary and frontend themselves can be downloaded fromftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted.You can also find a listing of mailing lists, notes for contributing andmore useful information on the web site.
Please send bug reports to [email protected]. When sending bugreports, please include the version of GNU Parted.Please include the output from these commands (for disk /dev/hda):
Feel free to ask for help on this list — just check that your questionisn’t answered here first. If you don’t understand the documentation,please tell us, so we can explain it better. General philosophy is:if you need to ask for help, then something needs to be fixed so you(and others) don’t need to ask for help.
Also, we’d love to hear your ideas :-)

1.2 Software Required for the use of Parted
If you’re installing or compiling Parted yourself, you’ll need tohave some other programs installed. If you are compiling Parted,you will need both the normal and devel packages of these programsinstalled:
- libuuid, part of the e2fsprogs package. If you don’t have this,you can get it from:If you want to compile Parted and e2fsprogs, note that you will need tomake install and make install-libs e2fsprogs.
- GNU Readline (optional), available fromIf you are compiling Parted, and you don’t have readline, you candisable Parted’s readline support with the --disable-readlineoption for
configure
. - GNU gettext (or compatible software) for compilation, ifinternationalisation support is desired.

1.3 Platforms on which GNU Parted runs
Hopefully, this list will grow a lot. If you do not have one of theseplatforms, then you can use a rescue disk and a static binary of GNU Parted.
Linux versions 2.0 and up, on Alpha, x86 PCs, PC98, Macintosh PowerPC, Sun hardware.
Next: Compiling, Previous: Supported Platforms, Up: Introduction [Index]
1.4 Terms of distribution for GNU Parted
GNU Parted is free software, covered by the GNU General Public LicenseVersion 3, or (at your option) any later version. This should have beenincluded with the Parted distribution, in the COPYING file. If not,see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Libparted is considered part of GNU Parted. It is covered by the GNUGeneral Public License. It is NOT released under the GNU Lesser GeneralPublic License (LGPL).
1.5 Building GNU Parted
If you want to compile GNU Parted, this is generally done with:
However, there are a few options for
configure
:--without-readline
turns off use of readline. This is useful for making rescue disks,etc., where few libraries are available.
--disable-debug
don’t include assertions
--disable-nls
turns off native language support. This is useful for use with oldversions of glibc, or a trimmed down version of glibc suitable forrescue disks.
--disable-shared
turns off shared libraries. This may be necessary for use with oldversions of GNU libc, if you get a compile error about a “spilledregister”. Also useful for boot/rescue disks.
--enable-discover-only
support only reading/probing (reduces size considerably)
--enable-mtrace
enable malloc() debugging
--enable-read-only
disable writing (for debugging)
1.5.1 Introduction
If you want to run GNU Parted on a machine without GNU/Linux installed,or you want to modify a root or boot partition, use GParted Live:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php.

• Invoking Parted | Parted’s invocation options and commands |
• Command explanations | Full explanation of parted’s commands |
2.1 Introduction to Partitioning
Partitioning is the process of dividing a storage device into localsections, called partitions, which help organize multiple filesystemsand their associated operating systems.
A storage device presents itself as a sequence of bytes, numberedstarting from zero and increasing until the maximum capacity of thedevice is reached. Bytes are normally read and written a sector at atime, rather than individually. Each sector contains a fixed numberof bytes, with the number determined by the device.
In order to store multiple filesystems, a storage device can be dividedup in to multiple partitions. Each partition can be thought of as anarea which contains a real filesystem inside of it. To show where thesepartitions are on the device a small table is written at the start,shown as PT in the diagram below. This table is called a partitiontable, or disklabel, and also stores the type of each partition andsome flags.
Next: Invoking Parted, Previous: Partitioning, Up: Using Parted [Index]
2.2 Using GNU Parted
Parted has two modes: command line and interactive. Parted shouldalways be started with:
where device is the hard disk device to edit. (If you’relazy and omit the DEVICE argument, Parted will attempt to guess whichdevice you want.)
In command line mode, this is followed by one or more commands. Forexample:
Options (like --help) can only be specified on thecommand line.
In interactive mode, commands are entered one at a time at a prompt, andmodify the disk immediately. For example:
Unambiguous abbreviations are allowed. For example, you cantype “p” instead of “print”, and “u” instead of “units”.Commands can be typed either in English, or your native language (ifyour language has been translated). This may create ambiguities.Commands are case-insensitive.
Numbers indicating partition locations can be whole numbers or decimals.The suffix selects the unit, which may be one of those described inunit, except CHS and compact. If no suffix is given, then the defaultunit is assumed. Negative numbers count back from the end of the disk,with “-1s” indicating the sector at the end of the disk.Parted will compute sensibleranges for the locations you specify (e.g. a range of +/- 500 MB when youspecify the location in “G”). Use the sector unit “s” to specify exactlocations. With parted-2.4 and newer,IEC binary units like “MiB”, “GiB”, “TiB”, etc., specifyexact locations as well.See IEC binary units.
If you don’t give a parameter to a command, Parted will prompt you for it.For example:
Parted will always warn you before doing something that is potentiallydangerous, unless the command is one of those that is inherentlydangerous (viz., rm, mklabel and mkpart).Since many partitioning systems have complicated constraints, Parted willusually do something slightly different to what you asked. (For example,create a partition starting at 10.352Mb, not 10.4Mb)If the calculated values differ too much, Parted will ask you forconfirmation.

2.3 Command Line Options
When invoked from the command line, Parted supports the following syntax:
Available options and commands follow. For detailed explanations of theuse of Parted commands, see Command explanations. Options beginwith a hyphen, commands do not:
Options:
display a help message
never prompt the user
Set alignment for newly created partitions, valid alignment types are:none, cylinder, minimal and optimal.

Previous: Invoking Parted, Up: Using Parted [Index]
2.4 Parted Session Commands
GNU Parted provides the following commands:
• align-check |
• disk_set |
• help |
• mklabel |
• mkpart |
• name |
• quit |
• rescue |
• resizepart |
• rm |
• select |
• set |
• unit |
Note that after version 2.4, the following commands were removed:check, cp, mkfs, mkpartfs, move, resize.
2.4.1 align-check
Determine whether the starting sector of partition nmeets the disk’s selected alignment criteria.align-type must be ‘minimal’, ‘optimal’or an abbreviation.When in script mode, if the partition does not meet the alignmentrequirement, exit with status 1; otherwise (including on olderkernels for which alignment data is not available), continue processingany remaining commands.Without --script, print either ‘N aligned’or ‘N not aligned’.
Example:
Next: help, Previous: align-check, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.2 disk_set
Changes a flag on the disk. A flag can be either “on” or “off”.Some or all of these flags will be available, depending on what disklabel you are using:
(GPT) - this flag enables the boot flag on the GPT’s protective MBRpartition.
The disk’s flags are displayed by the print command on the 'Disk Flags:'line. They are also output as the last field of the disk informationin machine mode.
Set the PMBR’s boot flag.
Next: mklabel, Previous: disk_set, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.3 help
Prints general help, or help on command.
Example:
Print help for the mklabel command.
Next: mkpart, Previous: help, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.4 mklabel
Creates a new disk label, of type label-type. The new disk labelwill have no partitions. This command (normally) won’t technicallydestroy your data, but it will make it basically unusable,and you will need to use the rescue command (see Related information)to recover any partitions.Parted works on all partition tables. 1
label-type must be one of these supported disk labels:
- bsd
- loop (raw disk access)
- gpt
- mac
- msdos
- pc98
- sun
Example:
Create an MS-DOS disk label. This is still the most common disk label forPCs.
Next: name, Previous: mklabel, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.5 mkpart
Creates a new partition, without creating a new file system onthat partition. This is useful for creating partitions for file systems(or LVM, etc.) that Parted doesn’t support. You may specify a filesystem type, to set the appropriate partition code in the partitiontable for the new partition. fs-type is required for datapartitions (i.e., non-extended partitions). start and endare the offset from the beginning of the disk, that is, the “distance”from the start of the disk.
part-type is one of ‘primary’, ‘extended’ or ‘logical’,and may be specified only with ‘msdos’ or ‘dvh’ partition tables.A name must be specified for a ‘gpt’ partition table.Neither part-type nor name may be used with a ‘sun’partition table.
fs-type must be one of these supported file systems:
- ext2
- fat16, fat32
- hfs, hfs+, hfsx
- linux-swap
- NTFS
- reiserfs
- ufs
- btrfs
For example, the following creates a logical partition that will containan ext2 file system. The partition will start at the beginning of the disk,and end 692.1 megabytes into the disk.
Now, we will show how to partition a low-end flashdevice (“low-end”, as of 2011/2012).For such devices, you should use 4MiB-aligned partitions2.This command creates a tiny place-holder partition at the beginning, andthen uses all remaining space to create the partition you’ll actually use:
Note the use of ‘--’, to prevent the following ‘-1s’ last-sectorindicator from being interpreted as an invalid command-line option.The above creates two empty partitions. The first is unaligned and tiny,with length less than 4MiB.The second partition starts precisely at the 4MiB markand extends to the end of the device.
The next step is typically to create a file system in the second partition:
Next: print, Previous: mkpart, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.6 name
Sets the name for the partition number (GPT, Mac, MIPS and PC98 only).The name can be placed in quotes. And depending on the shell may need to alsobe wrapped in single quotes so that the shell doesn’t strip off the doublequotes.
Example:
Color palette from image pro 2 0. Set the name of partition 2 to ‘Secret Documents’.
Next: quit, Previous: name, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.7 print
Displays the partition table on the device parted is editing, ordetailed information about a particular partition.
Example:
Next: rescue, Previous: print, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.8 quit
Quits Parted.
It is only after Parted exits that the Linux kernel knows about the changesParted has made to the disks. However, the changes caused by typing yourcommands will probably be made to the disk immediately after typing acommand. However, the operating system’s cache and the disk’s hardware cachemay delay this.
Next: resizepart, Previous: quit, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.9 rescue
Rescue a lost partition that used to be located approximately betweenstart and end. If such a partition is found, Parted willask you if you want to create a partition for it. This is useful if youaccidently deleted a partition with parted’s rm command, for example.
Example:
OUCH! We deleted our ext3 partition!!! Parted comes to the rescue..
It’s back! :)
Next: rm, Previous: rescue, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.10 resizepart
Moves the end position of partition number. Note that thisdoes not modify any filesystem present in the partition. If you wish todo this, you will need to use external tools, such as
resize2fs
.When growing a partition you will want to grow the filesystem afterwards,but when shrinking, you need to shrink the filesystem before the partition.
Next: select, Previous: resizepart, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.11 rm
Removes the partition with number number. If you accidently deletea partition with this command, use mkpart torecover it. Also, you can use the gpart program (see Related information)to recover damaged disk labels.
Note for msdos disk labels: if you delete a logical partition, alllogical partitions with a larger partition number will be renumbered. Forexample, if you delete a logical partition with a partition number of 6,then logical partitions that were number 7, 8 and 9 would be renumberedto 6, 7 and 8 respectively. This means, for example, that you have toupdate /etc/fstab on GNU/Linux systems.
Example:
Remove partition 3.
Next: set, Previous: rm, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.12 select
Selects the device, device, for Parted to edit. The device canbe a Linux hard disk device, a partition, a software RAID device orLVM logical volume.
Example:
Select /dev/hdb (the slave device on the first ide controller onLinux) as the device to edit.
Next: unit, Previous: select, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.13 set
Changes a flag on the partition with number number. A flag can beeither “on” or “off”. Some or all of these flags will be available,depending on what disk label you are using:
(GPT) - Enable this to record that the selected partition is aGRUB BIOS partition.
(GPT) - this flag is used to tell special purpose software that the GPTpartition may be bootable.
(Mac, MS-DOS, PC98) - should be enabled if you want to boot off thepartition. The semantics vary between disk labels. For MS-DOS disklabels, only one partition can be bootable. If you are installing LILOon a partition that partition must be bootable.For PC98 disk labels, all ext2 partitions must be bootable (this isenforced by Parted).
(GPT) - This flag identifies partitions that contain Microsoft filesystems(NTFS or FAT). It may optionally be set on Linux filesystems to mimic thetype of configuration created by parted 3.0 and earlier, in which aseparate Linux filesystem type code was not available on GPT disks. Thisflag can only be removed within parted by replacing it with a competingflag, such as boot or msftres.
(MS-DOS,GPT) - This flag identifies a 'Microsoft Reserved' partition, whichis used by Windows. Note that this flag should not normally beset on Windows filesystem partitions (those that contain NTFS or FATfilesystems).
(MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag identifies an Intel Rapid Start Technologypartition.
(MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag identifies a UEFI System Partition. On GPTit is an alias for boot.
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell MS DOS, MS Windows 9x andMS Windows ME based operating systems to use Linear (LBA) mode.
(Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the root deviceto be used by Linux.
(Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the swapdevice to be used by Linux.
(MS-DOS, PC98) - this flag can be enabled to hide partitions fromMicrosoft operating systems.
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the partition is asoftware RAID partition.
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the partition is aphysical volume.
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can be usedby the Linux/PA-RISC boot loader, palo.
(MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can be usedas a PReP boot partition on PowerPC PReP or IBM RS6K/CHRP hardware.
(MS-DOS) - Enable this to indicate that a partition can be usedas a diagnostics / recovery partition.
The print command displays all enabled flags for each partition.
Example:
Set the ‘boot’ flag on partition 1.
Previous: set, Up: Command explanations [Index]
2.4.14 unit
Selects the current default unit that Parted will use to displaylocations and capacities on the disk and to interpret those givenby the user if they are not suffixed by an unit.
unit may be one of:
sector (n bytes depending on the sector size, often 512)
byte
kibibyte (1024 bytes)
mebibyte (1048576 bytes)
gibibyte (1073741824 bytes)
tebibyte (1099511627776 bytes)
kilobyte (1000 bytes)
megabyte (1000000 bytes)
gigabyte (1000000000 bytes)
terabyte (1000000000000 bytes)
percentage of the device (between 0 and 100)
cylinders (related to the BIOS CHS geometry)
cylinders, heads, sectors addressing (related to the BIOS CHS geometry)
This is a special unit that defaults to megabytes for input, and picks aunit that gives a compact human readable representation for output.
The default unit apply only for the output and when no unit isspecified after an input number. Input numbers can be followed byan unit (without any space or other character between them), inwhich case this unit apply instead of the default unit for thisparticular number, but CHS and cylinder units are not supported asa suffix. If no suffix is given, then the default unit is assumed.Parted will compute sensible ranges for the locations you specify(e.g., a range of +/- 500 MB when you specify the location in “G”,and a range of +/- 500 KB when you specify the location in “M”)and will select the nearest location in this range from the one youwrote that satisfies constraints from both the operation, thefilesystem being worked on, the disk label, other partitions and soon. Use the sector unit “s” to specify exact locations (if theydo not satisfy all constraints, Parted will ask you for the nearestsolution). Note that negative numbers count back from the end ofthe disk, with “-1s” pointing to the last sector of the disk.
Note that as of parted-2.4, when you specify start and/or end valuesusing IEC binary units like “MiB”, “GiB”, “TiB”, etc., partedtreats those values as exact, and equivalent to the same numberspecified in bytes (i.e., with the “B” suffix), in that it providesno “helpful” range of sloppiness. Contrast that witha partition start request of “4GB”, which may actually resolve tosome sector up to 500MB before or after that point.Thus, when creating a partition, you should prefer to specifyunits of bytes (“B”), sectors (“s”), or IEC binary units like “MiB”,but not “MB”, “GB”, etc.

(Thus, if the Document is inpart a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explainany mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historicalconnection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regardingthem.The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titlesare designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the noticethat says that the Document is released under this License. If asection does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is notallowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zeroInvariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any InvariantSections then there are none.The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed,as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says thatthe Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text maybe at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,represented in a format whose specification is available to thegeneral public, that is suitable for revising the documentstraightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed ofpixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely availabledrawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters orfor automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for inputto text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent fileformat whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwartor discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amountof text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plainASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX inputformat, SGML or XML using a publicly availableDTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML,PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examplesof transparent image formats include PNG, XCF andJPG.

- VERBATIM COPYINGYou may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, eithercommercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, thecopyright notices, and the license notice saying this License appliesto the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no otherconditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not usetechnical measures to obstruct or control the reading or furthercopying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may acceptcompensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enoughnumber of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, andyou may publicly display copies.
- COPYING IN QUANTITYIf you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly haveprinted covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and theDocument’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose thecopies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these CoverTexts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts onthe back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identifyyou as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must presentthe full title with all words of the title equally prominent andvisible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preservethe title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treatedas verbatim copying in other respects.If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fitlegibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fitreasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacentpages.If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numberingmore than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparentcopy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copya computer-network location from which the general network-usingpublic has access to download using public-standard network protocolsa complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensurethat this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the statedlocation until at least one year after the last time you distribute anOpaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of thatedition to the public.It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of theDocument well before redistributing any large number of copies, to givethem a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
- MODIFICATIONSYou may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document underthe conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you releasethe Modified Version under precisely this License, with the ModifiedVersion filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distributionand modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copyof it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
- Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinctfrom that of the Document, and from those of previous versions(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History sectionof the Document).

If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections orappendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no materialcopied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or allof these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to thelist of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice.These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it containsnothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by variousparties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text hasbeen approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of astandard.You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and apassage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the listof Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage ofFront-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (orthrough arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document alreadyincludes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you orby arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicitpermission from the previous publisher that added the old one.The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this Licensegive permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert orimply endorsement of any Modified Version. - COMBINING DOCUMENTSYou may combine the Document with other documents released under thisLicense, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modifiedversions, provided that you include in the combination all of theInvariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, andlist them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in itslicense notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, andmultiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a singlecopy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name butdifferent contents, make the title of each such section unique byadding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the originalauthor or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list ofInvariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History”in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled“History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”,and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete allsections Entitled “Endorsements.”
- COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTSYou may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documentsreleased under this License, and replace the individual copies of thisLicense in the various documents with a single copy that is included inthe collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License forverbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distributeit individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of thisLicense into the extracted document, and follow this License in allother respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
- AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKSA compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separateand independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage ordistribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyrightresulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rightsof the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit.When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does notapply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselvesderivative works of the Document.If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to thesecopies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half ofthe entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed oncovers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or theelectronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the wholeaggregate.
- TRANSLATIONTranslation is considered a kind of modification, so you maydistribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires specialpermission from their copyright holders, but you may includetranslations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to theoriginal versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include atranslation of this License, and all the license notices in theDocument, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also includethe original English version of this License and the original versionsof those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement betweenthe translation and the original version of this License or a noticeor disclaimer, the original version will prevail.If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”,“Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserveits Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actualtitle.
- TERMINATIONYou may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Documentexcept as expressly provided under this License. Any attemptotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, andwill automatically terminate your rights under this License.However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your licensefrom a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finallyterminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holderfails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to60 days after the cessation.Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder isreinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of theviolation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you havereceived notice of violation of this License (for any work) from thatcopyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days afteryour receipt of the notice.Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate thelicenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you underthis License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanentlyreinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material doesnot give you any rights to use it.
- FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSEThe Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versionsof the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such newversions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but maydiffer in detail to address new problems or concerns. Seehttps://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of thisLicense “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option offollowing the terms and conditions either of that specified version orof any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by theFree Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a versionnumber of this License, you may choose any version ever published (notas a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Documentspecifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of thisLicense can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of aversion permanently authorizes you to choose that version for theDocument.
- RELICENSING“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means anyWorld Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and alsoprovides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. Apublic wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in thesite means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMCsite.“CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profitcorporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,California, as well as future copyleft versions of that licensepublished by that same organization.“Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole orin part, as part of another Document.An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under thisLicense, and if all works that were first published under this Licensesomewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in wholeor in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections,and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the siteunder CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
