NAME
       labelit - list or provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS
       labelit	[-F FSType]  [-V]  [-o FSType-specific-options] special [oper‐
       ands]

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 infor‐
		       mation 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
       /etc/vfstab	       List of default parameters for each  file  sys‐
			       tem.

       /etc/default/fs	       Default	local file system type. Default values
			       can  be	set  for  the	following   flags   in
			       /etc/default/fs. For example:

			       LOCAL=ufs       The  default  partition	for  a
			       LOCAL	       command if no FSType is	speci‐
					       fied.
