+.TH DISKTAB 5 "2 March 1983"
+.UC 4
+.SH NAME
+disktab \- disk description file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <disktab.h>
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Disktab
+is a simple date base which describes disk geometries and
+disk partition characteristics.  The format is patterned
+after the
+.IR termcap (5)
+terminal data base.  Entries in 
+.I disktab
+consist of a number of `:' separated fields.  The
+first entry for each disk gives the names which are
+known for the disk, separated by `|' characters.  The
+last name given should be a long name fully identifying
+the disk. 
+.PP
+The following list indicates the normal values
+stored for each disk entry.
