+.Sh NAME
+.Nm disktab
+.Nd disk description file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a simple database which describes disk geometries and
+disk partition characteristics.
+It is used
+to initialize the disk label on the disk.
+The format is patterned after the
+.Xr termcap 5
+terminal database.
+Entries in
+.Nm
+consist of a number of colon
+.Pq Ql \&:
+separated fields.
+The first entry for each disk gives the names which are
+known for the disk, separated by
+.Dq \&|
+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:
