.SH NAME
|
|
ntfslabel \- display/change the label on an ntfs file system
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B ntfslabel
|
|
[\fIoptions\fR] \fIdevice \fR[\fInew\-label\fR]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B ntfslabel
|
|
will display or change the file system label on the ntfs file system located on
|
|
.IR device .
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the optional argument
|
|
.I new\-label
|
|
is not present,
|
|
.B ntfslabel
|
|
will simply display the current file system label.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the optional argument
|
|
.I new\-label
|
|
is present, then
|
|
.B ntfslabel
|
|
will set the file system label to be
|
|
.IR new\-label .
|
|
NTFS file system labels can be at most 128 Unicode characters long; if
|
|
.I new\-label
|
|
is longer than 128 Unicode characters,
|
|
.B ntfslabel
|
|
will truncate it and print a warning message.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is also possible to set the file system label using the
|
|
.B \-L
|
|
option of
|
|
.BR mkntfs (8)
|
|
during creation of the file system.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
Below is a summary of all the options that
|
|
.B ntfslabel
|
|
accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is
|
|
preceded by
|
|
.B \-
|
|
and the long name is preceded by
|
|
.BR \-\- .
|
|
Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a
|
|
single command, e.g.
|
|
.B \-fv
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
.BR "\-f \-v" .
|
|
Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR

|
This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with a mounted
|
|
volume. Use this option with caution.
