NAME
      labelit - list or provide labels for file systems
 


SYNOPSIS
      labelit [ -F FSType ]  [ -V ]  special  [ operands ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The labelit utility is used to write or  display  labels  on
      unmounted disk file systems.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -F FSType
            Specify the FSType on which to  operate.   The  FSType
            should  either  be  specified  here or be determinable
            from /etc/vfstab by matching the special with an entry
            in  the  table.   If  no  matching entry is found, the
            default file system type specified in  /etc/default/fs"
            will be used.
 
      -V    Echo complete command line. This option may be used to
            verify  and  validate  the  command  line.  Additional
            information obtained using  a  /etc/vfstab  lookup  is
            included in the output. The command is not executed.
 


OPERANDS
      The following operands are supported.  If  no  operands  are
      specified, labelit will display the value of the labels.
 
      special
            The disk partition (for example,  /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6).
            The device may not be on a remote machine.
 
      operands
            FSType-specific operands. Consult the manual  page  of
            the   FSType-specific  labelit  command  for  detailed
            descriptions.
 
 USAGE
      See largefile(5) for the  description  of  the  behavior  of
      labelit  when  encountering files greater than or equal to 2
      Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
 
 EXIT STATUS
      The following exit values are returned:
 
      0     Write or display of labels was successful.
