NAME
     diskinfo -- extract block IO management info for a disk, slice, or parti-
     tion

SYNOPSIS
     diskinfo [-qx] device ...

DESCRIPTION
     The diskinfo utility extracts information from block media devices such
     as raw disks, slices, and partitions.  The block size (aka sector size),
     disk offset, and disk size, in bytes, is returned for each device.  Off-
     sets are relative to the base of the raw disk, not the base of the slice
     or partition.

     The options are as follows:

     -q      Quiet operation.

     -x      Extended information.

EXAMPLES
	   diskinfo /dev/da0*
