Yes, that's the idea. A tool will be developed first that uses
these verbs (though I already have a regression test suite
capable of creating and modifying APM and GPT partitions).
May I suggest to look at sade(1) for this purpose?
Bye,

After that the idea is to migrate other partitioning schemes
and slicers into this framework. The end-result being a single
tool for partitioning disks with any and all schemes supported
by the framework and using the ctlreq mechanism to work on live
disks.
