If you have a modern Mac you have very little business using `pdisk`. It is only for editing disks mapped with an “Apple Partion Map”. This is obsolete replaced in practice by GPT on modern apple machines.

`gdisk` supports GPT, but to partition system SSD you need to deactivate System Integrity Protection:

    gdisk /dev/disk0

diskutil does more than edit partitions, though.
