Would it? The synopsis for fdisk that I have says this:

       fdisk [-u] [-b sectorsize]device
       fdisk -l [-u] [-b sectorsize] [device ...]
       fdisk -s partition ...
       fdisk -v

ie the only partition you can give as an argument is with the -s parameter,
to give the partition size on the stdout.
