-vol_id - partition, filesystem, disklabel reader
+vol_id - probe filesystem and read label and uuid
-This program is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
-name, uuid or the filesystem type of a partition to name a device node.
-vol_id opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline.
-The following commandline switches are supported to specify what vol_id
-should print:
+vol_id will only return with a non-zero exit code if the string asked for,
+is not empty. All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by
+underscore and slashes ignored.
+Unmangled values are available in the --export mode as hex-encoded strings
+in *_ENC= keys.
- --export prints all values
- -h prints help text
- -l prints the label of the partition
- -u prints the uuid of the partition

-The following rule will create a symlink named with the label string:
- KERNEL=="[hs]d*", PROGRAM=="/sbin/vol_id -l %N", SYMLINK+="%c"

-If no label is found vol_id exits with nonzero and the rule will be
-ignored.

-To give it a try, you may call it on the commandline:
- [root@pim udev.kay]# extras/volume_id/vol_id /dev/hda3
- T:ext3
- L:Music Store
- N:Music_Store
- U:d2da42b5-bbd9-44eb-a72c-cc4542fcb71e
-
- [root@pim udev.kay]# extras/volume_id/vol_id -l /dev/hda3
- Music_Store
-
- [root@pim udev.kay]# extras/volume_id/vol_id -t /dev/hda3
