You don't mention what version and distribution you are using. Upstream
parted does have -l in the manpage so I'd file a bug with the
distribution.

parted now (or will, depending on whether your distribution includes
patches from master) has a --fix option for your exact problem. When
used along with --script it will automatically fix the size of the disk
and write the backup partition table.

I've been working to create an iso image that includes 
both regular usb boot, and UEFI usb boot.
Process works fine. Create a 64M file, and create 
everything to the iso image.
When image is copied to a flash thou, it has an issue since 
the flash is much larger than the 64M.

Both gparted and parted -l will prompt to fix the error 
and do so nicely. 

With parted the -l option does the fix, but it runs on all 
devices in machine, not just the single flash??

Running parted -l shows info on all devices, and then 
prompts to repair.
Warning: Not all of the space available to /dev/sdb 
appears to be used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the 
space (an extra 15499264 blocks) or continue with the 
current setting? 
Fix/Ignore? Fix                                                           
Model: SanDisk Cruzer Blade (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 8003MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name  Flags
 1      1049kB  67.1MB  66.0MB  fat16        G4L   boot, esp

Have automated the fix with.
	echo -e "Fix" | sudo parted -l ---pretend-input-tty

Was looking at page on parted, and it doesn't list the -l 
option at all, and don't see the --pretend-input-tty either??

Would like to have the parted -l only run against the flash 
device rather than all devices, but doesn't seem to work 
by adding the device to line..

Not a big deal, but thought I would mention it.

The parted --help does list options.
OPTIONs:
  -h, --help                      displays this help message
  -l, --list                      lists partition layout on all block 
devices
  -m, --machine                   displays machine parseable 
output
  -s, --script                    never prompts for user 
intervention
  -v, --version                   displays the version
  -a, --align=[none|cyl|min|opt]  alignment for new 
partitions

Thanks.
