Name
    mlabel - make an MSDOS volume label

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 syntax 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 number, 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 crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
    translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen-
    tation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
    translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use
    the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions
    how to view the texinfo doc.

    *   To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol-
    lowing commands:

     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

    *   To generate a html copy, run:

     ./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.
