GParted stands for GNOME Partition Editor.

It uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partitiontables while several (optional) filesystemtools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted. These optional packages will be detected at runtime and don't require a rebuild of GParted.

GParted is written in C++ and uses gtkmm as Graphical Toolkit. The general approach is to keep the GUI as simple as possible. That's why it tries to conform to the Human Interface Guidelines.

GParted comes under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The latest version is 0.0.9, released on November 25, 2005.
