PCLABEL(1)              COMMAND REFERENCE              PCLABEL(1)



NAME
     pclabel - apply a label to a PC-DOS device

SYNOPSIS
     pclabel device name

DESCRIPTION
     Pclabel labels the PC-DOS device with label name. The
     standard restrictions on labels apply; that is, all normal
     PC-DOS filename characters and non-leading "spaces" are
     valid (periods are not valid).

EXAMPLES
     pclabel /dev/rdfp "my disk"
          labels the floppy in the disk drive MY DISK

     pclabel PC_disk3 "your disk"
          labels the PC-DOS filesystem in PC_disk3 your disk

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [NP_WARN]      An error warranting a warning message
                    occurred. Execution continues.

     [NP_ERR]       An error occurred that was not a system
                    error.  Execution terminated.

CAVEATS
     Unknown results may occur if a specified argument appears to
     be a valid PC-DOS filesystem but really isn't.  This is most
     likely to occur when accessing an existing binary file on
     UTek with the 1st byte being one of the characters 0xE9 or
     0xEB and the 24th byte being one of 0xF8 or 0xFD (a valid
     boot-parameter-block); or the 513th byte being one of 0xF8
     or 0xFD (the first byte of the FAT).

     An ioctl to the floppy driver is required when the diskette
     is formatted as single-sided or 8 sector/track; therefore,
     anytime the floppy driver is accessed and the device name
     was not specified as rdfp or rdf00p the device is changed to
     rdfp or rdf00p.
