 vol_id - probe filesystem and read label and uuid
 
-This program is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
-filesystem type of a volume and the label and uuid 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 volume
-  -u       prints the uuid of the volume

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