NAME

label - manipulate Sun disk labels

SYNOPSIS

label [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

The label command manipulates Sun disk labels. It shares the menu subroutines with the sformat(1) command and thus presents the same label and partition menu as sformat(1). The label however does not operate by sending SCSI commands to the drive but rather reads and writes files.

OPTIONS

All boolean options can be abbreviated by their first letter.

-print

Print the disk label and the partition table and exit.

-set

Read the disk label and partition table, set the disk driver geometry and partition tables according to the data read from file and disk and exit.

lproto= label-name

if= label-name

Set the name of the input file. This may be a plain file or a raw disk device name.

lname= label-name

of= label-name

Set the name of the output file. This may be a plain file or a raw disk device name.

f= label-name

Set the name for both, the input and the output file. This may be a plain file or a raw disk device name.

-help

Prints a short summary of the label(1) options and exists.

-version

Prints the label(1) version number string and exists.
