/*
 * parthelper.c: Helper program to talk to parted with.
 *
 * This helper exists because parted is GPLv3+, while libvirt is LGPLv2+.
 * Thus we can't link to parted in libvirt.so without the combined work
 * being GPLv3+. Thus we separate via an external command. NB, this source
 * code is still LGPLv2+, but the binary helper is effectively GPLv3+
 *
 * The existing 'parted' command line tool is also incredibly hard to parse
 * in a reliable fashion if merely after a list of partitions & sizes,
 * though it is fine for creating partitions.
