Happy to contribute (perhaps with some guidance for this > first-time contributor to this project).Cheers,Liz Hi! Yes, it could use more documentation :) At the moment the best method is to try it out on a disk.img file and see what it does. Which certainly isn't ideal or complete. If you're comfortable looking at C the print code is here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/tree/parted/parted.c the functions prefixed with ul_jsonwrt_* are the json related ones. As for where to put it, I guess it probably belongs in its own section in the info docs (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/tree/doc/parted.texi) with a shorter description in the manpage that also mentions the info docs. Patches should be sent to the parted-devel mailing list: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel (and you can also ask questions there, the audience should be wider than the bug tracker). Thanks! Brian -- Brian C. Lane (PST8PDT) - weldr.io - lorax - parted - pykickstart
