'pdisk' was always two things rolled in one, namely 1. an interactive utility similar to pdisk on linux 2. a non-interactive command specific to the Mac that takes commands like -createPartition or -dump The whole is complicated by the fact that the interactive utility can be used non-interactively, too, so you can equivalently say The documentation never explained both of these and still doesn't in Tiger. "man pdisk" only talks about 1 and "pdisk -h" only talks about 2. In addition there were bugs in both versions of the documentation. Perhaps what you call "alignment" means that there are fewer bugs in the Tiger documentation? In any case, "man pdisk" and "pdisk -h" are still talking about different things.
