'''cfdisk''' is a [[Linux]]  [[partition editor]], similar to [[fdisk]], but with a different, [[curses (programming library)|curses]]-based user interface. It is part of the [[util-linux]] package of Linux utility programs.

The current cfdisk implementation utilizes the libfdisk library<ref>[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/tree/disk-utils/cfdisk.c cfdisk.c in util-linux.git], note the "<code>#include <libfdisk.h></code>"<br>Retrieved on 18 March 2020</ref> and supports partitioning of disks that use [[Master boot record]], [[GUID Partition Table]], [[BSD disklabel]], SGI or SUN disk labels.
It also provides information about mount points and general partition information like partition names, types/flags, sizing and UUIDs.

If invoked without arguments, cfdisk attempts to read the current partition table from the disk drive and present its findings.
