+Description
+-----------
+
+The `part` command is used to manage disk partition related commands.
+
+The 'part uuid' command prints or sets an environment variable to partition UUID
+
+    interface
+        interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ....)
+    dev
+        device number
+    part
+        partition number
+    varname
+        an optional environment variable to store the current partition UUID value into.
+
+The 'part list' command prints or sets an environment variable to the list of partitions
+
+    interface
+        interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ....)
+    dev
+        device number
+    part
+        partition number
+    flags
+        -bootable
+            lists only bootable partitions
+    varname
+        an optional environment variable to store the list of partitions value into.

+    part
+        partition number
+    varname
+        a variable to store the current start of the partition value into.
+
+The 'part size' command sets an environment variable to the size of the partition (in blocks),
+part can be either partition number or partition name.

+    part
+        partition number
+    varname
+        a variable to store the current size of the partition value into.
