NAME
     mscdlabel -- generate disk label from CD track information

SYNOPSIS
     mscdlabel [device | file]

DESCRIPTION
     mscdlabel is used to generate a NetBSD disk label from track information read from the CD.  This way, data of previous sessions of a multi-
     session CD can be accessed.

     mscdlabel scans the CD's TOC, beginning with the last track.  For each data track where an ISO9660 filesystem is identified, basic informa-
     tion (volume label, creation date) is printed and a partition entry added to the in-core disklabel.

     The raw partition (typically partition c, but d on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during this process.

     The mscdlabel utility can also be used on files or non-CD devices.  In this case a single track is assumed.  If the device supports disk
     labels, a label will be written as described above. Otherwise, just the ISO volume label information will be printed.
