0x83 and 0xc are partition types, and there is a pointer in the manual
for where to find their meanings and the different values:

    * mbr_type (mandatory): the partition [type]

where [type] is a pointer to:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type#List_of_partition_IDs

But I can add such comments as this is an example.

Yann E. MORIN.
