Can parted show used and available sizes as gparted?
gparted is said to be the GUI frontend of parted.
Why can't parted show used and available sizes for each partition, as gparted does?
If parted can, how can I make it show that information?
If not, how does gparted make it?
$ sudo parted -l
[sudo] password for t:
Model: ATA ST1000LM014-1EJ1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB bios_grub
2 2097kB 16.0GB 16.0GB linux-swap(v1)
4 116GB 716GB 600GB ext4
3 716GB 1000GB 284GB ext4

On the command line, the used and unused space on each filesystem can be listed using the command df, assuming that the filesystems are mounted.
If you wanted to be pedantic, you could say more accurately that "gparted is a graphical frontend for parted and any combination of btrfs-progs/btrfs-tools, e2fsprogs, f2fs-tools, dosfstools/mtools, hfsutils, hfsprogs , jfsutils, util-linux, lvm2, nilfs-utils, ntfs-3g/ntfsprogs, reiser4progs, reiserfsprogs/reiserfs-utils, xfsprogs and/or xfsdump"... but I think that would be too cumbersome for general use. I believe that the tools and/or libraries in those packages could include the functionality to find out the used/unused capacity on each supported filesystem, if that functionality isn't integrated into the main gparted binary.
So, yes, gparted is a frontend for parted... but not just a simple frontend: since the GUI allows for more easier presentation of complex concepts, it uses that capability to provide more advanced functionality. In doing so, it acts as a frontend for way more tools than just parted alone.

Thanks. It is not I want to be pedantic. When A is said to be GUI frontend of B, it usually implies B has more feature than A, or is more powerful, So I think it is best to use the CLI program than the GUI one.
