+       "Gpart tries to guess the partitions on a PC-style, MBR-partitioned disk
+after they have been inadvertently deleted or the primary partition table at
+sector 0 damaged.  In both cases, the contents of these partitions still exist
+on the disk but the operating system cannot access them.
+
+Gpart ignores the partition table and scans each sector of the device or image
+file for several known file system and partition types.  Only partitions which
+have been formatted in some way can be recognized.  Several file system guessing
+modules are built in; more can be written and loaded at run time.
+
+The guessed table can be restored manually, for example with @command{fdisk},
+written to a file, or---if you firmly believe it's entirely correct---directly
+to disk.
+
+It should be stressed that gpart does a very heuristic job.  It can easily be
+right in its guesswork but it can also be terribly wrong.  Never believe its
+output without any plausability checks.")
