Disk partition table command

How can I create a partition table (gpt) from the command line?

I know I can use gparted for this but there should be a command somewhere, and I cannot find it.
 
fdisk
cfdisk

The first is command line based the second is command line using ncurses so its a little prettier.
 
I don't think that fdisk supports GPT. Could the GPT-aware CLI tool be "parted"? Google says gparted is based on parted, so I presume the 'g' in its name to refer to "graphical".
 
Hi,
I also know that fdisk only supports MBRs and I am not sure what cfdisk does. I searched and found that there is the GPTfdisk, aka gdisk program (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/), similar to or based on fdisk. The only package I found for gdisk is rpm.
Both gdisk and parted are interactive though, I am looking for a simple command line.
 
Thanks.
You skipped gpt? I skipped around ten years of internet. 🙁
Lats time I tried parted with arguments I ended up with errors...somehow. I guess I will have to look more into it. And thanks for the link, it is a nice site.
