documentation in the future.

+buffers that can be dynamically allocated and deallocated.
+
+.. index:: buffers, definition
+
+Partitions are managed and maintained as a list of buffers.  Buffers are
+obtained from the front of the partition's free buffer chain and returned to
+the rear of the same chain.  When a buffer is on the free buffer chain, RTEMS
+uses two pointers of memory from each buffer as the free buffer chain.  When a
+buffer is allocated, the entire buffer is available for application use.
+Therefore, modifying memory that is outside of an allocated buffer could
+destroy the free buffer chain or the contents of an adjacent allocated buffer.

+Building a Partition Attribute Set
+----------------------------------
+
+In general, an attribute set is built by a bitwise OR of the desired attribute
+components.  The set of valid partition attributes is provided in the following
+table:
+
+.. list-table::
+ :class: rtems-table
+
+ * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL``
+   - local partition (default)
+ * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL``
+   - global partition
+
+Attribute values are specifically designed to be mutually exclusive, therefore
+bitwise OR and addition operations are equivalent as long as each attribute
+appears exactly once in the component list.  An attribute listed as a default
+is not required to appear in the attribute list, although it is a good
+programming practice to specify default attributes.  If all defaults are
+desired, the attribute ``RTEMS_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES`` should be specified on this
+call.  The attribute_set parameter should be ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` to indicate that
+the partition is to be known globally.

-
-- rtems_partition_delete_ - Delete a partition

-Operations
-==========
-
-Creating a Partition
---------------------
-
-The ``rtems_partition_create`` directive creates a partition with a
-user-specified name.  The partition's name, starting address, length and buffer
-size are all specified to the ``rtems_partition_create`` directive.  RTEMS
-allocates a Partition Control Block (PTCB) from the PTCB free list.  This data
-structure is used by RTEMS to manage the newly created partition.  The number
-of buffers in the partition is calculated based upon the specified partition
-length and buffer size. If successful,the unique partition ID is returned to
-the calling task.
-
-Obtaining Partition IDs
------------------------
-
-When a partition is created, RTEMS generates a unique partition ID and assigned
-it to the created partition until it is deleted.  The partition ID may be
-obtained by either of two methods.  First, as the result of an invocation of
-the ``rtems_partition_create`` directive, the partition ID is stored in a user
-provided location.  Second, the partition ID may be obtained later using the
-``rtems_partition_ident`` directive.  The partition ID is used by other
-partition manager directives to access this partition.
-
-Acquiring a Buffer
-------------------
-
-A buffer can be obtained by calling the ``rtems_partition_get_buffer``
-directive.  If a buffer is available, then it is returned immediately with a
-successful return code.  Otherwise, an unsuccessful return code is returned
-immediately to the caller.  Tasks cannot block to wait for a buffer to become
-available.
-
-Releasing a Buffer
-------------------
-
-Buffers are returned to a partition's free buffer chain with the
-``rtems_partition_return_buffer`` directive.  This directive returns an error
-status code if the returned buffer was not previously allocated from this
-partition.
-
-Deleting a Partition
---------------------
-
-The ``rtems_partition_delete`` directive allows a partition to be removed and
-returned to RTEMS.  When a partition is deleted, the PTCB for that partition is
-returned to the PTCB free list.  A partition with buffers still allocated
-cannot be deleted.  Any task attempting to do so will be returned an error
-status code.
