Question

My task is to print information for the user who runs this script in the terminal
The information I need to print is the information I get from writing:

parted /dev/... print

Is there any file with the same information so I can open and print it with the perl script,
if not I really have no idea how to get a hold of info about which partition that is “boot”
and the size of each partition

Feels like I’ve been looking all over the internet, maybe I’m just bad at searching for the
right parameters, but I’m lost and any help is appreciated

Answer 1

You could run the command and capture the output

open my $cmd, '-|', 'parted', '/dev/...', 'print' || die "Can't run command: $!";

while (<$cmd>) {
    # do something with $_, e.g.
    print;
}

close $cmd || die "Error while closing off command: $!";
