Yes.  But, you have to read it together with man fdisk to make any
sense of it and even then the writing is rather convoluted and confusing.  
They could both use a complete systematic rewrite.   I don't think I
know enough of the extra stuff (the stuff I don't usually use) to do 
it or I would try it.

So, anyway, user questions should not be surprising.
(But please ask reasonably specific questions or it is hard to
give a relevant answer)
