Rewrite the command so it makes sense to you. See the fdisk example:
Name- fdisk Disk partition tool used to divide a hard disk into logical disks (partitions). Syntax- fdisk [-u] [-b sectorsize] [-C cyls] [-H heads] [-S sects] device -b sectorsize Specify the sector size of the disk (512/1024/2048) -C cyls Specify the number of cylinders in a disk. -H heads Specify the number of heads of the disk -S sects Specify the number of sectors per track of the disk -u Partition table sizes listed need to be given in sectors instead of cylinders
