<device> may be device name or (if only one) -u <uuid> or -j <major> -m <minor>
<mangling_mode> is one of 'none', 'auto' and 'hex'.
<fields> are comma-separated.  Use 'help -c' for list.
<concise_device_specification> has single-device entries separated by semi-colons:
    <name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>
        where <flags> is 'ro' or 'rw' (the default) and any of <uuid>, <minor>
        and <flags> may be empty. Separate extra table lines with commas.
    E.g.: dev1,,,,0 100 linear 253:1 0,100 100 error;dev2,,,ro,0 1 error
Table_file contents may be supplied on stdin.
Options are: devno, devname, blkdevname.
Tree specific options are: ascii, utf, vt100; compact, inverted, notrunc;
                           blkdevname, [no]device, active, open, rw and uuid.
