NAME
     labelit - list or provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS
     labelit [ -F FSType ]  [ -V ]  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.

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.
