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 SCSI tape (e.g., /dev/rmt/qtape0).
     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  descrip-
     tion.

     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.

FILES
     /etc/vfstab    list of default parameters for each file system
