NAME
       labelit - list or provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS
       labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [-o FSType-specific-options] 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.

       -o	       Specify FSType-specific options. See the manual page for the labelit module specific to the file system type.

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.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES
