## Note of warning

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation, and may  not  be  entirely
           accurate  or  complete.   See the end of this man page for
           details.

## Description

           The mlabel command adds a volume label to a disk. Its syn
           tax is:
           mlabel [-vcsn] [-N serial] 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.

           n      Assigns a new (random) serial number to the disk

           N serial
                  Sets the supplied serial number. The serial  number
                  should  be  supplied as an 8 digit hexadecimal num
                  ber, without spaces

## Viewing the texi doc

           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, these items have no  appropriate  repre
           sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor
                         ./configure; make html

                  A    premade    html    can    be     found     at:
                  `http://mtools.linux.lu'      and      also     at:
                  `http://www.tux.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.
