Good point.  I do not know of another tool.
I do see "fatresize", but it relies on libparted.

If there is no alternative program or library,
I may have to leave at least the library API, for precisely this.
Maybe leave also the resize command, but with support only for file
systems of type FAT16/32.

Does gparted use the command-line UI or the library?
If gparted uses the command-line, what do you think
about converting to use the library?

Thanks, Curtis!
