| Why do we have drvctl(8) and gpt(8) (for example only, there are
| others) which put the device-to-act-on at the end of the command:
|
| gpt [-Hnqrv] [-m mediasize] [-s sectorsize] [-T timestamp]
| command [command_options] device
Historical baggage. But you get to have it both ways with gpt.
link it to any other name (than gpt) and that version will use
the 'device first' strategy:
