NAME
volcancel - cancel user's request for removable media that is not currently in drive
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/vold/volcancel [-n] [volume]

EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample of the volcancel command.
To cancel a request to access an unnamed CD-ROM, use
example% /usr/lib/vold/volcancel vol/rdsk/unnamed_cdrom

example% /usr/lib/vold/volcancel || echo volmgmt not running
