+@item -a alignment-type
+@itemx --align alignment-type
+Set alignment for newly created partitions, valid alignment types are:
+none, cylinder, minimal and optimal.

GNU Parted provides the following commands:
@menu

* check::
* cp::
* help::
* unit::
@end menu
+@node align-check
+@subsection align-check
+@cindex align-check, command description
+@cindex command description, align-check
+
+@deffn Command align-check @var{align-type} @var{n}
+
+Determine whether the starting sector of partition @var{n}
+meets the disk's selected alignment criteria.
+@var{align-type} must be @samp{minimal}, @samp{optimal}
+or an abbreviation.
+When in script mode, if the partition does not meet the alignment
+requirement, exit with status 1; otherwise (including on older
+kernels for which alignment data is not available), continue processing
+any remaining commands.
+Without @option{--script}, print either @samp{@var{N} aligned}
+or @samp{@var{N} not aligned}.
+
+Example:
+
+@example
+(parted) @kbd{align-check minimal 1}
+1 aligned
+@end example

+@end deffn

@node check
@subsection check
@cindex check, command description
depending on what disk label you are using:
@table @samp
+
+@item bios_grub
+(GPT) - Enable this to record that the selected partition is a
+GRUB BIOS partition.
+
@item boot
(Mac, MS-DOS, PC98) - should be enabled if you want to boot off the
partition. The semantics vary between disk labels. For MS-DOS disk
Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts. @xref{Copying
