labelit_udfs(1M)					  System Administration Commands					  labelit_udfs(1M)

NAME

       labelit_udfs - provide and print labels for udf file systems

SYNOPSIS

       labelit -F  udfs [generic_options] [-o specific_options] special [fsname volume]

DESCRIPTION

       The  labelit command writes labels on an unmounted disk that contains a universal disk file (udf) system. These labels can be used to iden-
       tify volumes.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       generic_options

	   Specify generic_options supported by the generic labelit command. See labelit(1M) for descriptions of supported options.

       -o specific_options

	   Specify udfs-file-system-specific options in a  comma-separated list with no intervening spaces.  The  following  specific_options  are
	   available:

	   lvinfo1=string  Specify  information  to  be  inserted in the LVInfo1 field of the Implementation Use Volume Descriptor. Information in
			   LVInfo1 is generally used to identify the person creating the file system. The maximum length of the  string  specified
			   is 35 bytes.

	   lvinfo2=string  Specify  information  to be inserted into the LVInfo2 field of the Implementation Use Volume Descriptor. Information in
			   LVInfo2 is generally used to identify the organization responsible for creating the file system. The maximum length	of
			   the string specified is 35 bytes.

	   lvinfo3=string  Specify  information  to be inserted into the LVInfo3 field of the Implementation Use Volume Descriptor. Information in
			   LVInfo3 is generally used to identify the contact information for the medium. The maximum length of the  string  speci-
			   fied is 35 bytes.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       special	       Specify	special  as  the  physical  disk  slice,  for	 example,  /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6.	 The device can not be on a remote
		       machine.

       fsname	       Specify fsname as the mount point, (for example, root, u1, and so forth), of the file system.

       volume	       Specify volume as the physical volume name.

       If none of the options (fsname, volume, specific_options) is specified, labelit prints the  current  values  of	fsname,  volume,  LVInfo1,
       LVInfo2 and LVInfo3.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.
