NAME
labelit (generic) - provide labels for file systems
SYNOPSIS
labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o
specific_options] special [operands]
DESCRIPTION
labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk
file systems or file systems being copied to tape.
The special name should be the disk partition (e.g.,
/dev/rdsk/c0d0s6), or the cartridge tape (e.g.,
/dev/rSA/ctape1). The device may not be on a remote
machine. operands are FSType-specific and the manual page of
the FSType-specific labelit command should be consulted for
a detailed description.
current_options are options supported by the s5-specific
module of labelit. Other FSTypes do not necessarily support
these options. specific_options indicate suboptions speci-
fied in a comma-separated list of suboptions and/or
keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the FSType-
specific module of the command.
The options are:
-F specify the FSType on which to operate. The
FSType should either be specified here or be
determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching the spe-
cial with an entry in the table.
-V echo complete command line. This option is used to
verify and validate the command line. Additional
information obtained via a /etc/vfstab lookup is
included in the output. The command is not exe-
cuted.
-o Specify FSType-specific options.
NOTE
This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
