Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.40.2-1
Severity: normal
Block boundary names:
% man badblocks | grep -nA 3 SYN
8:SYNOPSIS
9- badblocks [ -svwnf ] [ -b block-size ] [ -c blocks_at_once ]
[ -i
10- input_file ] [ -o output_file ] [ -p num_passes ] [ -t
test_pattern ]
11- device [ last-block ] [ start-block ]
...the lower bound is called the "start-block" and the upper bound
is the "last-block". (Note: 'badblocks -h' has the same names under 'Usage'.)
The term 'last' implies a gradable antonym pair, but 'start' is not an
antonym of 'last'. Suitable antonym pairs include:
start/finish
first/last ( << best choice, IMHO. )
begin/end
initial/final
Hope this helps...
PS: see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonym
