       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 (for example,
             /dev/rdsk/*, where the value of * is machine specific), or the
             cartridge tape (for example, /dev/rmt/*).  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 specified
             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 special 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 executed.

             -o        Specify FSType-specific options.

       NOTICES
             This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
