mlabel(1)

Name
       mlabel - make an MSDOS volume label

Note
       This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
       mtools's texinfo documentation.  However, this process  is
       only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer-
       ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
       process.  Indeed, this items have no appropriate represen-
       tation in the manpage format.  Moreover,  only  the  items
       specific  to  each  command  have been translated, and the
       general information about mtools has been dropped  in  the
       manpage  version.   Thus  I strongly advise you to use the
       original texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
              run the following commands:
                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
                     ./configure; make html
              A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:
              `http://linux.wauug.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      To generate an info copy  (browsable  using  emacs'
              info mode), run:
                     ./configure; make info

       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
       Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
       to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.

Description
       The mlabel command adds a volume label to a disk. Its syn-
       tax is: mlabel [-vcs] drive:[new_label]

       Mlabel displays the current volume label, if  present.  If
       new_label  is  not  given,  and if neither the c nor the s
       options are set, it prompts the  user  for  a  new  volume
       label.   To  delete an existing volume label, press return
       at the prompt.

       Reasonable care is taken to create a valid  MS-DOS  volume
       label.   If  an invalid label is specified, mlabel changes
       the label (and displays the new label if the verbose  mode
       is set). Mlabel returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.

       Mlabel supports the following options:

       c      Clears  an  existing  label,  without prompting the
              user

       s      Shows the existing  label,  without  prompting  the
              user.
